Furthermorely, options add another layer of manipulation by the MMs, who try to hold the stock price to cause options to expire worthless, or move the price to cause stopping out, or generally rip everyone off with wide spreads and high commissions. Option prices are not readily available like stock prices. Option prices of overhyped stocks are overhyped.
