The only time I see Option Expiration manipulation is on expiration Fridays and sometimes the day before. But I have never noticed it in small and mid cap stocks. If you look at the big cap movers like KLAC,NVLS,ERTS, and the like then you will see how they almost always close that day whithin $.25 of a strike price. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-canslim@lists.xmission.com [mailto:owner-canslim@lists.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Tom Worley Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 7:26 PM To: canslim@lists.xmission.com Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] The effect of expiring options Kelly, I am not aware of options contract trading having any meaningful effect on the price of the underlying stock. If you have any specific examples, I would be interested in learning more. Usually it will be the other way around. The only specific situation I can think of is right at expiration, you might get some large holders of options contracts trying to nudge the stock price slightly higher or lower in order to have it close on Friday expiration above or below the strike price. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelly Short" <kelly.short@tx.us.neoris.com> To: <canslim@lists.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 2:50 PM Subject: [CANSLIM] The effect of expiring options Someone has mentioned previously that stocks will sometimes experience a short term move upward because of option holders selling off their soon-to-expire option contracts. Can someone please provide more information on this topic or point me to a good source of information to understand this phenomenon more clearly?
