i thought this was a decent article because the guy saved the Kitco live price charts, to see how the market performs/ is manipulated on "futures last trading day" and other days.

"Expiration Dates (CME Metals Calendar):
Gold Futures – The third to last business day of each delivery month is the last trading day (LTD).
Gold Options – The fourth business day prior to the first calendar day of the corresponding Gold futures delivery month.
Stock Options – The third Friday of the expiration month."

he looks at recent dates, mostly 2010. so the activity will be familiar to some of y'all.

Thanks for the link gunDriller!

I have been away from the markets for a couple weeks, I wonder if my options expiration dates thread ended up bearing some truth?

I noticed you posted some questions on this subject, I hope they were answered.
