donald: Seems I have been on the menu since last night... If the majority of the folks on this thread agree with the attacks on me, I can stop posting except in a very limited way on this thread. It can be just that simple. Regards, LG

Donald, this issue to me indicates that (and this is speculation)the sudden rise in premiums is a direct result of "TA computerized day trading" as many TA indicators move after the price which trigger an buy or sell signal which in turn diminish or enhance demand. I was grappling with this problem for intraday trading for a while which in turn made it difficult to trade option. I think that this is also indicative of the bubble we are in today, as so many participants are watching the same data real time - e.g. is difficult to find anomalies. Thanks for your comments. Haim
