Changes in OI:
1) Dec $KWEB that was opened late September getting closed out the last few sessions. 68,000+ volume on Friday. OI decreases by 25,000+ today but for our intents and purposes just operate under the assumption that the OI decreased by 68,000 or so. Chinese tech flows haven't had their day in a while.
2) YOU can close YOUR contracts and the OI can stay flat.
3) I think we may need to ask ourselves if the $BURL trader from the past flipped bear at some point in the last few months. Some of the recent trades have gone belly up and rolled.
4) Criminal $CART flows hit the tape Friday before the buy-out interest news started circulating. Hmm
