Thanks WiLD .. No .. I don't want to get that Dizzy. It would take me a year to actually understand the premise of the vix options. lol I found the CBOE option calculator over the weekend. cboe.com I used to have some sites bookmarked that crunched the numbers and gave the best risk reward scenarios ... I'm looking for something along that line.

OT - Are they finally going to launch those? I've been trading off of the VIX for years and always wished I could trade it directly. As for what it represents, who cares? It is just a chart to me. Besides, who really understands the underlying premise behind most of the companies out there represented by all those stock charts?
