Question from Aviatrix - Hello all-star panel! Great program. I have a question about option open interest. I don’t really understand it. I’ve read some blogs that say open interest can impact a stock’s direction during expiration week. Is this just, as Mark would say, the “tin foil hat crowd” or is there something to this? Should I be tracking open interest as an indicator?  Keep the “wit and wisdom” coming!
