no analysis with the numbers? nothing much, just where you believe the numbers suggest asnd to close at expiration. ie instead of ASND options open interest after trading, 3/9/98: oi for 3/9 - 35 probable possible 40: this will also help to prevent carpal tunnel, with the all those keystrokes saved.

So, I take it this says 35 to 40. more likely 35 for March expiration, with some people thinking as high as 45. They more likely $40 for April expiration. Does that sound like what you're seeing? Where is May? I would have thought it would be between April and June. Dennis
