Dave, you could be next on the TSE Gestapo's "Hit List". Your reposting of Porter's comments is letting people know what the fuss is all about, but the TSE won't be too pleased by this. We can't risk losing your valuable input as well.

Is this getting out of hand or what??? I strongly feel that the media would run with this story if exposed to the right people. They love the internet intrigue/hype that they imagine takes place here.

I again think people should be e-mailing the Globe & Mail and Financial Post, they can't silence the newspapers. It's time to get rid of Fleming.

Dave S,

What is the largest position you would generally take (in percentage terms) relative to Open Interest in any given option? Would this level be safe in terms of liquidity?

Dan

Dave S,

From what I understand, the Market Maker is required to fill an order or play the other end when there is no open interest. If I sell to close a position in this situation, is the MM obligated to fill my order with at least the intrinsic value of the option or would I be forced to exercise in order to receive full intrinsic value.

Thanks,
Dan
