<How would one ascertain how much of a premium he is paying in options? I have heard that there is an index which gives a rough measure as to what sort of premium is priced into the derivatives.>

1.) Try CBOE.com and see if they have that info...I think they do. You could also get a BS model for your computer...should be many options pricing services and software.

2.) I dont know that the index vol.s would be that useful...this can often be security specific...ie. one that crashes will blow up (CYMER)
