>>No, no, no. MMs were selling the puts to traders. Selling and writing are the same thing. Thing is MMs make sure they are fully hedged/protected. Their game is to collect spreads only--not speculate like the traders.<< I see! Thanks! Most of what I know about options is from this thread<g> I don't want to know too much at this point, otherwise, I may become addicted to it. I'll wait for COMS to come on strong first. Anyway, this confirms that there was a lot of investor activity shorting stock and creating a bottom base. thanks again, joe
