a bit more on TASR...i was not correct in that option writers would lose, it is more a matter of whether they want to MAXIMIZE their profit. right now, even if the let it fall more, they would still win because the combined contracts at 27.50 and 30 far out number all others, so that's money in the bank for them. however, optimally, if they move up some to close between 25 and 27.5, they would clean house...
