Here is the latest from CFTC as ov last Tuesday. Today willl be reported on Friday at
http://www.cftc.gov/dea/futures/deacmxsf.htm
The actual internals are by subscription and are spread over all strike prices showing net open interest. I can get it for gold, but not silver. If you're interested I can email you a gif of a typical Nov/Dec snapshot. You would need that kind of data to see the OE at time of today's close. It would tell you those that finished inthe $ and those that expired worthless across all strike prices. Problem is that there are puts and calls summed in the net figures so there could be lots of puts in the money at prices where calls outnumbered puts and vice versa. MAybe someone else has that data and could let us know where it is available in public forum.
