Re : are you saying that the options markets have gotten more efficient ? No, not at all. What has happened is that the "suckers" out here (and, I (unfortunately) do count myself amongst them) collectively got sick and tired of p*#%ing away their hard earned money on options transactions, and the volume that Wall Streeters could be on the "other side of the trade" - of just started not being there. (You may have noticed that the CBOE has started an aggressive publicity campaign to try to lure us back in). (Complete with a video tape that (I think) actually talks about saving for children's college tuition on the same tape as talking about listed stock options !) Jon.
