I think we should expect larger than usual volumes of trades going through for a week or two. Most of us took up the RI to get our hands on the free options and some will be willing to take a small loss on the heads that they just purchased and pocket the options as a longer term bet. This will / is resulting in larger volumes but also remember than any purchases now need to take place on market also so there is increased on market demand.

For now the two are offseting each other as some are offloading their old heads knowing that the allotment from the RI will replace them with new ones. The price is holding up well concidering the above which bodes well for when the selling of purplus stock disipates. Anticipate even larger volumes into next week as the allotment is completed and all the oversubscriptions are recieved.
