The Options Effect - And how to profit form it? It would seem from our discussion here that knowing what options are held could enable accurate prediction of SP movements. Options nicely-in-the-money will be exercised before they expire, and generally will be sold even if the current SP is somewhat beaten down, because taxes must be paid, etc. Enough of such options should depress the SP significantly. And when the supply of such options is exhausted (I assume that could happen) a SP boost should be expected. Anyone know what options have been issued?
