First I have never traded index options. If I trade SPX or OEX options and get stuck with some "in the money" and have to exercise them (probably wouldn't happen but want to understand how it works), how would this be settled. I obviously am not going to buy every stock on the index, I could see buying Spiders for the S&P but doubt that is how it is done etc. How is this settled on Saturday. Is it a cash only deal or what is required on my part and the call or put sellers part should I decide to exercise.

Also, I am trying to build a new data base of the smaller indexes. Does anyone know where I can get historical data on them? I tried tradepbs.com and it only pulls stocks. When I try to get indexes it only gives me one days worth. The NASDAQ home page has data on the NASDAQ but none of the smaller NYSE data. I will be using it in an Excel spread sheet so text, hypertext or ASCII will work.

Thanks in advance

Lee
