This may help in understanding fair value and the PREM. Maybe not, ...but here it is anyway.

I'm lost, Mary. Are you addressing me or Scott?

The last 15 minutes of the day shows a rise in the Cash from 15.74 to as high as 18.02 before closing at 17.06 so that would account for the rise in TICK, I would think. The sells predicted for the end of the day did not do much, it seems, in terms of the Futures. They closed a bit higher at 4:15 than they were when Cash closed at 4.

But your supposition per short-covering has merit, in my opinion. Many are reluctant to hold a position overnight and so that could have accounted for the late, although minor, rally that would have resulted in a rebound in TICK. I don't have that program up as of this moment and can't judge it. The machine that I keep up all night does not track TICK on an intraday basis.

<I have trouble understanding the PREM >

What trouble is that?
