Ox, Got the P&F book you recommended. I like it so far. Gosh. it is a slow read. Not much fluff, if you know what I mean. I like the premise that price is a function of supply and demand and that's all. When I figured that out I began to make money! So much for "value" investing. I had a question I thought you might be able to answer. Is it possible to do P&F using an hour time frame or a thirty minute time frame (on an index) with any success? How does P&F work on indices? I guess that's two questions <g>. Thanks. Matt

OX, The parity (Max Pain) point is close to the market for NDX/QQQ reading your table and yet the weighted 10 stock individual equity option index is about 15 percent below current market values. The upshot of this will be very interesting. Dave

TO ALL; On this day in 1985 1985 Optimism About Nation's Fiscal Future November 11, 1985, did not have the makings of record-breaking day: the economy was, at best, in middling health and a number of financial institutions were closed for Veterans Day. However, that didn't stop traders from feeling a growing sense of optimism about the nation's fiscal future. Their good tidings spilled over into the markets, as the Dow, New Stock Exchange, and Standard and Poor's index all reached new heights. What, then, caused Wall Street to feel so confident about the otherwise unspectacular state of the economy? Many traders pinned their hopes on declining interest rates, rising productivity, and the Fed's continued ability to reign in inflation to help spark profits. There were some dissenting voices, including a chorus of analysts who warned that the markets would suffer an inevitable "correction" before making any more big gains. Yet far from retreating downward, the markets kept picking up steam, charging into a record-setting bull run that lasted well into 1987. ----------------------- Hmmm 2 more years of insanity might be more than i can stand
