I just guessed you knew or heard of SPY, but I was careful hot to write "I'm sure you know" when I chose the words "I believe you know". SPY was the first and QQQ for Nasdaq followed soon after. Later the QQQ started to trade on Nasdaq so its symbol changed to QQQQ. Now there are also options on the SPY and on the QQQQ. For anyone who looks at the most active "stocks" listing, these are almost always at the top or very near the top. For anyone looking for options on the broad market, these have high volume and they trade in $1.00 strike price increments. There are special rules that define what qualifies as "covered" when selling them.

>That, obviously, is wrong... ???obviously??? The original point was about the remoteness of the likelihood of CSCO dropping too far too fast. Then your post connected CSCO to Market. But now, you want to disengage the two. What exactly is your POINT? If you want to focus on probability, then you have to use some statistical measure or other. You can pick CSCO stats directly, or you can use S&P[500?] stats and then use correlation between that and the stock. If you want to follow none of these courses, then go ahead and lead the way.
