What is with the huge swings in the option premium? I was seeing a 2 point spread on the NDZ and 1 point plus on the SPX. The premium move more violently than AMZN in December! Is this normal? Do they believe in normal increments? It looks manipulated to take out smaller players with huge swings to cause people to bail. MLJ

Hi Lee . Re : "I just have to hope they are not the type that is a buy in at the open and sell on the close or intra day" Right now the SP99U is up and the dollar is down .. 489 buy 301 fair 123 sell look at the slope of the futures in the morning. If they are moving down while still in buy area then it'll be one of those head fake mornings. Should turn down before 9:50AM. At this time, that's what it looks like to me. Course anything could happen in the next 6 hours .. j.o.'s place is open now .. can trade indexes with a stop and a limit at the same time. Accounts open for as little as $100. And you can trade on the SP9U with as little as $50 at risk. indextrade.com Gersh
