Hi Gryphon,

As an options holder myself, that is something I have definitely notices. I'm not concerned though, as if there are goodies to come for head holders then oppie holders will be given a chance to convert, and we can do that at any stage now anyway.

I think the main reason for the lag in the oppies is simply the trading volume. The heads have moves so quickly and with so much volume it is obviously that the short term traders have gotten a hold of it. It is almost expected that at some stage there will be profit taking, and the oppies aren't nearly as liquid as the shares, hence people are inclinded to avoid them.

As a long term holder it doesn't concern me either way.
