GZ; Thanks , and LOL Re> the quick and the dead. <<, you got it, and there is always some one on the other side of every contract, so you know 50% are going to lose, ah but then there is the cut the house takes (the spread,) and the time premium the underwriter gets. The main use I see in them is for arbitrage players, and I know they are playing them against stock orders , so I can't hope to compete in any meaningful way. I personally feel to get in that kind of quick draw contest with out some big guns sooner or later you meet your waterloo. I looked at it several years ago and said well heck I could beat this, but now that I've looked at it some more I'm glad I didn't try. <G> Jim
