Jill,

My experience trading the OEX, and QQQ are that they are thin, so you need to look at a somewhat larger move. I tend to buy index options with longer timeframes than equity options. QQQ is a big improvement over NDX because volume is much larger and the spreads and fills are better.

Bottom line is that indexes don't tend to move as quickly as an equity option like QCOM, but they can be a great play for a general move in the market. I use them when we are oversold across the market - like last week - or when I want to hedge my positions (on the short side).

I've never traded the RUT. I have no interest in the small caps, but I do know that they are pretty cheap relative to the bigger stuff. What would cause this to become less or more pronounced I have no idea.
