So, wondering if the Fed bond maturity dumping the S&P theory will have any merit on Monday. Looking to BTFD on some options. Interesting how AAPL still has colossal open interest, but GOOG has almost nothing. Same with AMZN. AMZN price spreads on options are ludicrous, likely due to the low liquidity. TSLA's open interest is decent. I've always wondered why AAPL's option activity is so high relative to the other tech stocks? Anyone still trading options here?

I know almost nothing about options, but could it have something to do with the unrelenting FUD and skepticism about Apple's future? I mean, when "experts" are upgrading their price targets to a number 15 points below the current market price, it has to have an effect.

I still sell options, both calls and puts to exit and enter positions, or collect a bit of premium. I flew high, then crashed and burned with spreads back in 2008/2009, so I'm more cautious these days.

Thanks, incorrigible, but I never went away - mostly I just lurk and read posts from you and the other smarter-than-me members.
