Mr. Spaulding, Arent you saying that excess option supply drives prices down? Fine. I thought Econ 101 states stock mkts are supply and demand models. Thereby with increased demand for Sept calls, the value of those calls increase. If calls were made available along with diminishing interest (demand) in those calls, prices drop to garner buyers. I know you understand Econ basics. I just dont understand your option explanations. Your argument seems to say that Sept calls decrease in value whether the demand is high or low. Are you seaking "generally" and referring to a "nominal" price deterioration?
