To All: Maybe someone could explain to me why INTC meets the whisper at .57 /share number in the weak qrtr. and is given a haircut for its efforts(60 dn to 58) while MOT trading at $82 share comes in ahead of its numbers at .28/share and is rewarde with a pop to the upside. I don't care what the mix is there is something wrong here. Don't tell me its because of the product mix because that hasn't been achieve any great degree of reliability vis a vis earnings. This is a good time for all those who didn't buy INTC at 6-14 in 90-92 to load up. JFD

I don't usually run the numbers except for Wednesday and Friday evening, but making an INTC Max-Pain Point&#153 analysis this morning seemed appropriate. Based on yesterday's final CBOE open interest figures, the Max-Pain Point&#153 for INTC is $60. but the curve is extremely flat from $57.5 to 62.5. If you assume $60 to produce the maximum profit for the option writers, then $57.5 and $62.5 only produce $5M of pain ie less than maximum profit, for the MM's. This chart isn't posted but I will update all the charts this evening. Ben A. ez-pnf.com
