dennis: re: laura's max pain point of 62.5 etc etc ...i believe if you look more carefully at the max pain chart which calculated 55, that you will find that their data are even stated as being about four weeks old...i appreciated laura recalculating the max pain point based on much more current data...i do not have time to be more specific right now, and am writing from memory..i believe my statement should help you; i did not know laura knew how to recalculate this, or i would have asked ---actually i did about two weeks ago, but my post was perhaps not clear enough...i was asking the thread in general...

MAX PAIN.....why such a big difference????

I think Ben A. calculates Max Pain from all options sold over the last 3 months. Some early options are just bad guesses. The more recent the purchase the better the prediction. I'm not sure if you can get option information coupled with the date the option was created (you can't at the CBOE free site anyway) but if you could a MAX PAIN with weighted numbers would be a lot more accurate.
