what is Max Pain?

Have a look here:

pipeline.com

It is the stock price at options expiry that minimizes the value of outstanding options. Not sure how it works (when it does). One interpretation is that that is the consensus bet in the market on the price at that date. - midway point between the average call and average put price. Or that actions of option writers steer the price in that direction.

BTW AAPL went up more than the NASDAQ average today. That's not too bad for people grumbling here.
