X, The 20,000 or so April calls outstanding at 25 and 27.5, represent about 2 million shares. With almost 13 million traded today, don't you think the buyers and sellers of the stock would render those options positions meaningless as far as being a factor in where the MM's try to place the stock on Friday? Thanks for your reply. Addendum: With the action in the stock today, I'm beginning to think that these MM's have made a killing. First they sell a bunch of shares (maybe 2 million at 29 1/2), then they slowly drop the price to accumulate many more million at a point less, replenishing their inventory. Now they are raising the price to dump some more. We may yet see 30 today. Sam
