>>QQQ's One can own and hold a share of the trust so in case something goes "wrong"... good points on ways of thinking on QQQ vs NDX... but as you know, the above LTBH view can be very dangerous. much better to cut one's losses. so in that regard, IMO the most substantial difference between NDX and QQQ options are the size. my guess is that most QQQ option traders don't go buying and selling 40 contracts of QQQ at a time (equiv to 1 NDX). the biggest drawback to trading NDX is it's liquidity (and therefore wider Bid/Ask spreads). but for spread strategies, NDX/MNX european-style exercise can work for you more than against.
