Where do people get this statistic? Larry McMillan who writes the Option
Strategist newsletter did a study of this. He found that over a period of
three months 69% of the open contracts expired in the money which he defined
as having a value of 5/8 or more. Has anyone actually seen any studies that
confirm that "statistically most options expire worthless"? I'd like to see
that study.
