Fascinating website:

http://maximum-pain.com/options/max-pain/

"This finance website calculates the weekly and monthly max pain cash value for stocks. Max Pain theory states that the stock price on option expiration will be at the strike where the most options (by cash value) expire worthless. This is due to hedging activity by the option writers. Thus, you can predict where the stock price will be in the future and trade accordingly."

It is instructive to understand under what situations it works best and worst.

Clearly it is only one part of a multi-faceted picture of a stock's price action.
