Stock market report for today...a little humor. - Helium was up, feathers were down. - Paper was stationary. - Fluorescent tubing was dimmed in light trading. - Knives were up sharply. - Cows steered into a bull market. - Pencils lost a few points. - Hiking equipment was trailing. - Elevators rose, while escalators continued their slow decline. - Weights were up in heavy trading. - Light switches were off. - Mining equipment hit rock bottom. - Diapers remain unchanged. - Shipping lines stayed at an even keel. - The market for raisins dried up. - Coca Cola fizzled. - Caterpillar stock inched up a bit. - Sun peaked at midday. - Balloon prices were inflated. - And Scott Tissue touched a new bottom.

Ben, Thanks for taking the time to do the max-pain analysis. For the record, I am not overly concerned with a stock's closing price on options expiry. Of more importance to me, as a seller of options or for flipping stocks, are the various strikes a stock traverses during expiry week to clear out open interest. Keep up the good work and enjoy the weekend. PS. The guy who criticized the max-pain analysis on the LU thread ... analogous to someone who faults calculus when they can't figure out how to make productive use of it.
