GDX-strike $14.00 Jan 29th expiring CALLS show a rather large OI of 4,347.

 

I will be surprised if it ends above $14.00 by week's end.

 

 

I see OI of ~6700 for 14 and ~6800 for 13.5.  Is this really significant money to be holding price one way or the other?  Doubt it but what do I know.

Perhaps these kind of numbers can definitely have an impact.

R_M,

 

Your numbers may or may not be more accurate than mine, I just don't know.

Pls tell me your source of this data as sometimes I feel that  mine may not be all that reliable.

Tks.

Mine came from OptionHouse platform that I use for trading options.  But then I read that schaeffer research article where it talked about GLD options and I tried to match few numbers only to notice huge discrepancy. Now I am questioning my own data and wondering where can I find source that will aggregate all major options exchanges data since I don't think my platform does it out of the box.

 

Actually I take that back.  Schaeffer research was referring previous day data.  I have few other platofrms (tradestation and thinkorswim) but not sure if either of them can give me aggregate data.

By early dusk in Athina (GMT+2 or EST+7) I will most probably be the proud but scared owner of some dust paper

so as to dust off my shorting skills.

 

ie., from dusk to dust in order to dust off...

GLD call options expiring 1/29

 

Strike 106.00  OI  4,915   Big number

          106.50        5,696   Big Number

          107.00       15,937  Very big Number

 

By tomorrow's close 'they' will do their best to keep it almost certainly below 107 and as near to the 106 mark

as possible since there are many strike 106 puts as well outstanding.

 

Likewise GDX below 14 is a good bet.

 

This is my 2-drachma BS opinion.

It shouldn't be all that good for Gold that the JPY is falling today.

Unless this time is different...

 

BTW Armstrong gives some inetresting parameters in discussing today what he calls "Gold the Bounce".
