Why Is This Expiration Week Unlike All Others?

It sure looks like it is shaping up to be another solid day for the market. I thought options expiration this week would bring about the usual dose of volatility, but it has been all on the upside!

I thought there would have been at least one big down day, as usually happens during expiration week. But this is the never-ending rally, served up bear style. (The shorts hate it when I make comments like that)
