<However, I have heard that the Wednesday a week prior to options expiration is when options begin to suffer the greatest time decay, and I've been advised that a day or two prior to that time is a good time to start looking at the next month.>

Yes, you are probably right. I was thinking that too, but I was also expecting some volatility. Right now I'm hedged so the only way I will lose money is if the qqq's go nowhere.

It looks like todays opening will be very close to the close of yesterday. I will wait and see, and watch the tape closely for an opening.

What are your thoughts about intervention?

Toime decay is very steep here

Plus they can calm things down a bit or rally they will drop the vix vxn as well

I would not have OTM options here. Front month
