Can options expiration affect the share price?

D'ya mean like beerntrading already did above?


  • beerntrading didn't post anything that shows a share price being influenced by options.

Ya gots urls for *piles* of whitepapers.....
Jeez, man, do your own homework.


  • You posted a link to DuckDuckGo search results for "option expiration effect on stock price".
  • Is that how you do your "homework" - a DuckDuckGo search of the thread title?

You can actually see the delta in volume so clearly on HSY that you know what strike that was without seeing the chains. Bonus: the move was so big as the buyer chased the fill you could see the gamma. With a bit of experience, this betrays expiry too.

Pull up the tape on that one and look at the correlation between the option T&S and underlying. Some might even say that correlation looks like causation.

And some fun to watch today: SQ (55), BABA (200), and LULU (100) are three I've noticed that are good candidates to show how expiration factors into price today.
 
Q: Can options expiration affect the share price?
A: Does the pope go to church?

  • Tomorrow is option expiration.
  • Could you post a stock and how it will be affected tomorrow due to the options expiring?


EPIC FAIL by Bobbygenits.


  • You had plenty of time to study option data and post how a share price was going to be affected because of option expiry.
  • Success should have been easy. Too late now.
  • Maybe next week you will come up with something.

Your lack of sufficient intelligence or initiative to do your own work (or to understand others')
in no way excuses you from your practiced ignorance.

Troll.

From your first post, I have found it curious how someone with such a screen name and such an avatar as yours, could so persistently post such ignorant and bass-ackwards shit -- especially in regards to options. I wrote it off to to ignorance and a big ego, and (I think) ignored you. But you've re-appeared, and anyone who didn't know you might think you had a clue. But you don't. You are nothing but a

Troll.

:wtf:
 
I'm looking at a stock that went up rapidly. As a consequence of the rapid price rise, the stock has many surprise deep-in-the-money calls (they started out far out of the money) that are going to expire tomorrow.

Can the expiration of these options affect the share price of the stock?
