is there any hope for options, page-6

There will most likely be a key announcement that will trigger the buying. That announcement hasn't happened yet and this is why the SP is still in a holding pattern.

When it comes, the recent selling will turn to buying and the SP will seem to climb.

I would expect if the opptions need to be sold rather than exercised, the pump will come sooner rather than later as they won't want to leave it too late where time decay is taking too much value vers head price.

I reckon it is sooner than you think.
