Margie, first, my position in the past was in regards to your comments on how options were affecting the stock just ahead of expiration, a theory where you have been proven wrong right here on this board several times. Second, I agree, as I have pointed out several times in the last week or two that something unusual is happening with AGPH stock. Although players are likely taking advantage of the recent volatility to play options, I still think something else has been responsible for the stock movement of late. I noticed you did not bother to post the link to your post to me, basically attempting to discredit me as I did not agree with you, back before there was any sign of public disagreement between you and I. I still stand by my comments in the links you posted, and appreciate the thought that you will stop this craziness, as I'm sure most here will. I also appreciate the absence of email from you. Good luck, sf

I'm not much of an options guy (at least I don't buy them). However, as I see it today, only the Sept 25 calls are "in the money" and all the others are down the drain, particularly if AGPH doesn't hit 30 today, which I don't think it will do until next week. But I do think that the type of options trading does give some idea what to expect on today's AGPH stock price. PS: Has anyone received any info about the stockholders' meeting? I'm surprised that no one (except George) has given any input about voting on the split of the company. I think I'll vote "yes."
