RE:Nevsun may be stuck around $2.50 until options expire on FriWheresMeGold wrote: The max pain theory basically states that stocks often gravitate to a level to cause the highest losses in the options market. I don't know if the amount of open interest in NSU is large enough to cause this but the max pain price is $2.50.
After options expire on July 21 you may see NSU rise or drop notably the following week.
I still anxiously await the quarterly results. I continue to believe Bisha is still the key for the stock to turn around. If cash and cash equivalents fall below $145 million then I think the stock price gets crushed.

Interesting...There does not appear to be any significant open interest to support your theory for July and August, but September is another story...
Options with a strike price of 2.50
