Ike here is a naive question on index option trading. I have traded options on stocks but not on Indices. I have come across the following index options: -OEX -DJX -SPX -SPY -SPZ I can easily see what they represent, my question is: -how does one decide which one should be traded (e.g. for risk reduction for long equity positions as now)? many times they tend to have similar charts. -what are pros and cons of using one vs other; in terms of premium, risk, liquidity etc -any other advice that you might want to offer Will appreciate your response or a pointer to a sight that might answer these questions; many thanks in advance. best regards M. carter
