parrett, while I think about it, thank you for your hard work this week standing in for croc. Haven't been posting much the last few days, so sorry for not acknowledging your effort before. Fine job in difficult circumstances at times.

[ruth] 16/11/2001 15:00

Cheers,log wants to go to the moon,no stopping it,

[chadd] 16/11/2001 14:57

Not sure at the moment ruth. I think it's slightly under 20 LSE, and mid twenties US. But I'm sure someone else will help us with that.

Dificult question to answer - depends on liquidity, option price and spread on share and time remaining. For an option on ARM Dec 390 put currently 22 @ 25. I nearly always buy them in conjunction with sold plays, spread then less of an issue.

[ruth] 16/11/2001 14:49

thanks chadd,what is the average p/e

[llucky] 16/11/2001 14:48

The options which expired today are on the indices, FTSE, DAX, DOW etc, you are right the equity options expire on Friday. When I went on the Advfn options course one of the things they advised to watch was the amount of open interest at a particular strike to indicate where the biggest positions are. So I have been watching these to see if and how they get manipulated at expiry. I am no expert but if the big players tend to sell options then on TSCO they would want it to expire at 2.40 for maximum profit on the puts and not above 2.60 on the calls so maybe that is why we are seeing it holding the 2.40 level ???

Covered EID long @ £2.545 for 6 pts (partial fill only ;-()

[ruth] 16/11/2001 14:44

thanks Kajman for your kind help,according to sharescope arm is on a p/e of 137 is that right,it has failed at 420,and is right back down to 413 now,

[chadd] 16/11/2001 14:40

ruth, notional measure of the time it would take to earn back the cost of the share based on the companies earnings, historic or projected. Therefore one measure of the relative cheapness or otherwise of the stock. Only of any use when comparing Co's in the same sector IMHO.

[parrett] 16/11/2001 14:39

Tim,

How wide are the spreads on individual share options?
