Wow, that's a loaded question, Brooke. I've only been playing options for about 18-months, so I'm still in diapers, although not literally (yet). When you mention the volatile nature of this market, I think the past month or so has been some of the least volatile time I can recall in the past year. 20-point ranges during the day on the COMP is not very volatile.

I thought the vix was a measure of volatility on the OEX. The OEX is compiled of 100 stocks and has remained in a 50 point range for 6 months. If my understanding of the vix measure is correct, it will not be a factor unless there is drastic movement in the rest of the market, causing these 100 stocks to make measured moves. I am too lazy to look up these stocks. -ggg- quote.yahoo.com^OEX&d=c&t=6m&l=on&z=b&q=l The April options seem to be in a range between 570/580 and possibly 590. quote.yahoo.com^oex&d=o The May options are also in that range, as are June. quote.yahoo.com^OEX&d=o&q=B quote.yahoo.com^OEX&d=o&q=C
