Charles, Yes, there were a mess of strike prices. To try to take into account the 'actively traded' options, I dropped the strike prices below 20. There are only 2851 total down there. With 7500+ call contracts at 27.5, 5000+ at 30, 6000+ at 35, 10000+ at 40 and 10000+ at 47.5, the level of the minimum point may be lower than including 'all' BUT the strike price of the 'Max Pain" point will be very, very close to dead on. But all of this may be moot based on 'momentum' from either Asia, TCI or the MSFT court session. If I were a guessing type of person, I'd guess that 37.5 +/- $.75 will be where we end up......... now that goes out the window if there is an earnings surprise. Ben A.
