Very interesting, Ben. Thank you. So one who is long LU July 75 Calls showing over 100% profit from this latest move has a high probability of having the profit and premium vaporized? Recognizing that the analysis will change over the next three weeks, could you help us understand what the study would suggest is the best strategy on LU July 98 options, in your view? JW

I like pain. If LU comes down to $75 to $76 region I'm going to load up a boatload. I'm thinking that by expiration in three weeks the max pain point will be shifted higher to $75 or $80.

And can you tell me why your analysis is important? Honestly. I guess most options do expire worthless, but why should that have anything to do with the price of one particualr stock? Have you personally seen any studies that show that this is a useful number to calculate or what it tells you? Just curious.

BEN --- Really appreciate the effort and information on the options analysis that you do for the thread . It is nice to have an idea what impact options might have on the stock price . I have a tendency to agree with you in an earnings month that it will probably be distorted with a strong earnings report ( which by the way the stock is acting it's look for an up surprise ) . I will definitely be following the tables in the off month's for possible trading action BEST WISHES BILL P.S - would it be possible to do CPQ for JULY ? Would appreciate any feedback if you have the time
