Thank you for your input. There are an infinite number of ways to use options. It would seem to this casual observer option prices/volumes on stock "x" are often swayed by the emotions of option players. Today was a good example. A late breaking rumor that Reuters was going to release a story about a renewed Justice dept investigation on MSFT caused a little bit of late action in the MSQ options. Summary: No model can assimilate human emotions. Heck, I'm human & I don't understand them. How can one expect a poor computer to? <g> Doug
