Actually, I steered him to cboe -- I don't like dreyfus. Listing a 2900 call as 900 is crazy. You're still holding those calls? Gutsy, I would have been out on the spike up :)

Poet - I've been trading options on the QQQ, where both the price of the options and the response to the underlying seem reasonable. Should I consider the minis as an alternative?

BTW the quote.com link gave a java error on my Mac.

Nice market, eh? Seems like a long time since I've been this confident in the trend.

Poet, thanks! I always wondered what was meant by "mini's"...

The Dreyfus option chain is useless for these. What is the leverage difference between them? I understand regular options: one call controls 100sh at the defined strike price. What is it for NDX? If NDX moves 10 points, what happens to the two types of NDX options?

EDIT: Also, what about bid/ask spreads and executions? Regular options suck in this regard.
