No idea at all, although I'm tempted to take a couple-three Dec Minis on a gamble. I have to go to dinner, I'll check around later. As for the gym, I have a set 8 AM EST appointment three times a week plus I go with my son twice more. I don't recall why I started it, I've been diagnosed as having a high risk of heart attack so probably it was something I decided to do in order to offset the risk in some manner. Whatever, I do feel much better when I sit down in front of the machines each day. Also my golf handicap dropped 4 strokes since the beginning of the summer. All in all it seems like it's working for me.

Hank Camp seems to think the Premium is normal. programtrading.com For Tuesday September 18, 2001 For Execution of Buy/Sell Programs Our FairValue for the S&P 500 today is $5.67. That price will not change during the day. Our computers are set or program buying at $6.92. A heck of a lot of premium came out. I have not been watching closely, perhaps between the drop in the cost of money and the drop in the SPX the formula produces a lower number. Without asking Hank I do not know. If I think of it I'll call him tomorrow.
