Ben, Athough I am not a big fan of TA, I agree that is fun to watch the study in progress, and I am another lurker that appreciates your efforts. Keep up the good work. Phil P.S. I tend to agree the specialists try to control the stock price based on the options, puts, calls, etc., and believe you have to through short interest in for good measure. What do you think? Phil

Ben, I have read your analysis and do understand what the maximum pain analysis is: In a nutshell you llok at open interest and back out what price at expiration will allow for the least total value in the nearest months options at expiration, correct? Is there something that tells you that on whole MM are biased to the Max Pain point? I don't read the street.com. I guess you've answered my question concerning whether you've really done any serious work to find out if there is a specific correlation.
