This stock has been skyrocketing since it's OPEX platform has been released. I am wondering what experienced option traders think the OPEX platfrom and the company.

I hate penny pushers too, but this is not a penny push.

This is a serious question in regards to the energy derivatives market, which is why I posted it on this quantative finance message board.

[i]OPEX will be a real-time electronic trade matching and brokerage system designed to improve liquidity and transparency in the energy derivatives market.[/i]

I think they are too late to corner the electronic trading market, especially with such a narrow focus. And I can't see how they will increase the liquidity much in these already liquid markets. Who would use them?

Starting an exchange is notoriously difficult. Moving liquidity is quite a formidable challenge. So my bet would be that this ain't going nowhere slow.

Got to love that intro (DON"T SKIP IT). Reminds me that nothing is impossible...
