Tom:

     As I understand it, "in the money options" mean that the options are 
higher than the striking price.  And deep in the money-I presume-would mean 
that the options are a lot higher than the striking price.  

     If this is so, and the options are about to expire, than why don't the 
option-owners exercise them (ie. sell them)?

 they need to diversify. Also, they may have options about to expire that are
 deep in the money. Can't just exercise the options, need to sell stock to
 pay the immediately due tax bill.  >>
