Genesis Posts: 130807 Incept: 2007-06-26	Looks like a buy on both legs to me (no point to a vertical with that other one being that far out of the money) and likely a bet on a rate cut. Not today though - not a prayer in hell with the economic data that is on the table. Maybe a bet on the Fed meeting. Not that many contracts either..... 1500? I bet that one turns out rather poorly. ---------- I don't care* if it makes sense -- only if it makes money. -- Me* Bank (n): See scam, fraud and theft. *Eat a bankster -- they're low-carb.* *What part of "shall not be infringed" was unclear?* 2007-09-06 11:40:43 Permalink

Yal Posts: 3544 Incept: 2007-06-27	I see 12K on the Sep 33 call. This is a lot. ps thread should move to "pricing breaking" 2007-09-06 14:05:01 Permalink
Genesis Posts: 130807 Incept: 2007-06-26	My volume numbers must be totally **ed up - I see basically nothing! There's bad data out there guys. Not sure who's got the right numbers - ETrade is showing a load, TOS nothing. These could be closeouts on those CALLs - not necessarily purchases. If someone thinks the market is going down the *ter, they'd bail. ---------- I don't care if it makes sense -- only if it makes money. -- Me* Bank (n): See scam, fraud and theft. *Eat a bankster -- they're low-carb.* *What part of "shall not be infringed" was unclear?* 2007-09-06 14:08:18 Permalink

Cyd Posts: 38 Incept: 2007-08-24 Cedar Rapids	Scottrade is showing 12,000 volume on the Sep 33's and 3,200 volume on the Sep 35's. 2007-09-06 14:10:53 Permalink

Gmak Posts: 10179 Incept: 2007-07-27 Re-inventing the future at the speed of time.	Interactive Brokers shows 15,600 on the Sep 33 calls (just jumped from 12000) and 4245 on the Sep 35 calls (just jumped from 3K+) 2007-09-06 14:32:54 Permalink

Gmak Posts: 10179 Incept: 2007-07-27 Re-inventing the future at the speed of time.	Whoops my bad. I was looking at the wrong number (******!). Its 12.6K for the 33's and 3.3K for the 35's So these numbers agree with Yal. 2007-09-06 14:41:38 Permalink*
