Hi peace, I'm aware of the products, but do not know if other hedges are sold. I'm inclined to believe that they are. I think much like buying a stock and selling puts and calls to create more revenue - that is selling calls as the stock goes up and selling puts as the stock goes down. So within market swings trading the products wit different values maximizes the revenue. I believe that is why the settlement of Lehman although lower than thought apparently did not create another bankruptcy - at least not so far. Just a guess - hey if you want to know what a used chevy truck is worth - that's more my cup of tea. Bob
