Lisa, Thanks for your effort, and for pointing me to the above site. Somebody in a Yahoo chat session suggested the following site: iqc.com But I did not find anything like OEX or VIX for individual stocks at that site. Maybe it is available only to registered user. If you are a registered user of that site you may want to try to see if they provide OEX or VIX numbers for individual stocks. Francois

Lisa... **Options Calculator** I looked at the site you had the url for, and no, that is nothing like what I have at E*Trade (One day we will all trade this way lol) The program I use is very simplistic, very little data needs to be entered, it merely asks for the ticker of the company and gives me the result. The two categories are Option Price Analysis and Leverage Analysis. One thing I did like about the calculator you had the link to, is the way it shows more of the mechanics of what gives the results. I have my ideas about the simplicity of the CBOE version you had me look at. I think there is more to the options puzzle than mere volitility and time etc. Dell is a great example of this, back when you were all buying calls (and everyone else) your positions did not gain what they should have, and that was not due solely to the over-balance of calls purchased or the beta of Dell, to me it seems that there might be other factors involved like MM involvment or other pressures. I am still investigating this and will let you know. long winded answer is, no this isnt the same.. lol Regards, Electric
