Chat: triple witching day Dan, Would you please make a few brief comments on your understanding of options expiration day [today] and how that relates to stock prices? I don't understand how options expiration influences stock prices. For example, if I hold a stock and it gaps down at the open on an options expiration day, is there any way to know if that was somehow caused by options expiration? I plead totally ignorant on this particular topic! Thanks in advance for any sense of direction you might can provide on this, Ice

CVG, RBK, MAT, SFSK: CVG - Convergys Corp - up 9/16 today to 16 1/2, chart says this stock ready to pop to 18-20, very good FA. RBK - Reebok, started to move, think this is a play off of NKE's big move. MAT - MAttel, strong bounce off of 23, looks like resistance at 25, if can get thru there, then 26-27 should be easy. This stock will likely trade 30-40 this year. SFSK - Safeskin, creamed on earnings warning, came back to 8 area, is a real POS, but very oversold. would view this one as a trader in this area. Larry
