>>>. . . options technically expire the 3rd SATURDAY of each month . . .<<< Actually, from the CBOE site: What is the expiration date? The last day (in the case of American-style) or the only day (in the case of European-style) on which an option may be exercised. For stock options, this date is the Saturday immediately following the third Friday of the expiration month; however, brokerage firms may set an earlier deadline for notification of an option buyer's intention to exercise. If Friday is a holiday, the last trading day will be the preceding Thursday. Look at this August. 8/21 is the third Fri. and 8/22 is the fourth Sat. That's why they don't just say 3rd Sat. cboe.com Dave
