This should help... impact for AOL is anyone's guess (lots of factors could come into play)- just expect more than the "usual" volatility :) ols "Triple witching refers to the market machinations brought on by the simultaneous expiration of stock index futures, stock index options, and stock options. This happens four times a year, on the third Fridays of March, June, September, and December. To be precise, the phrase is Triple Witching Hour, and refers to the last hour of trading on these Fridays. The expiration of these vehicles can cause high volatility in stock prices as traders play madly with the expiring vehicles and the underlying securities." fool.com
