Tommaso:

At the onset, I admit to inexperience in the options market. I'm trying to get up to speed. Your comments are interesting from over here on the sidelines and note from those postings that we appear to share outlooks.

I have a naive question concerning S&P 500 Put options. How do you determine the best option to buy relative to strike price and expiration date? I have been considering S&P Puts with strikes of 85, 80, and 75 expiring in December 1999 - since temporal distance seems safer? There must be a less than random way to approach this.

Your comments are appreciated. I guess I am interested in how you personally arrive at your trade decisions rather that a reference text. Then again, any references you might suggest will be read.

Thanks, Ted
