I'm no expert either, but there is a very high correlation with option strike prices and closing stocks prices. Some are harder to call (NE, for example) but here are some of my guesses: RON just under 60 GLM slightly over 22.5 MDCO slightly over 20 NE (for the record) 27.25 (but no options exist at 27.5).

marc- I can't comment on options expiry with any certain knowledge so I won't...I do notice lots of call buying at these prices in SLB & CDG...even for March. Past history on SLB has shown me that speculators come in a few days before expiry and make very subtantial profits on cheap out of the money options when SLB jumps around expiration. It happened in Feb and Jan. PK
