Jill,

OEX options are very liquid and will give you plenty of action. I trade them all the time. Bid/asked spread is good for options and you can usually trade between the spread even when doing size. An additional advantage is that 60% of all trades are long term capital gains because they are section 1256 contracts.

QQQ won't usually move as much because it is 1/20 of the index it tracks. It has moved 10 points or more in day recently due to the extreme volatility of the NASDQ. I haven't treaded it but have used it and the HHH to short the market because they can be shorted on a down tick.

Regards,

Ken
