PAL,

Wish you well trying to find a quantified answer.

One point of clarification though. On my site, I remark that "90% of options held until expiration day, expire worthless." That is different from all options bought/sold during the life of a contract period.

But, good luck in your quest.

I think it's hard to come up with an exact figure because most of these options are purchased and sold by major financial institutions for spread positions. Further, when companies buy their stock back, they often sell puts. A very smart move from my point of view.

I know several so-called investors that save the bus trip to Atlantic City or Vegas by simply buying calls and puts. The end result is the same.
