DJXXA...dec 79's...got them at 7/16 just before the close Friday, and that is where they still are sitting, darn it. Say, if someone would answer this for me, don't the DEC index options stop trading a bit earlier than the equity options...like next Wednesday instead of Friday? I only dabble in the puts, purely for entertainment and, being mainly a saver, I have yet to demonstrate to myself that I have any skill trading, especially the options. Also--somebody mentioned that the options on the dow are European style--I hope that does not mean my DJXXA's are something entirely different from a plain vanilla put. Did I buy something too funky and get over my head--the first order taker I spoke when I got them could not even execute my order even though I told him the symbol and everything. Finally, I did not see your ideas on options listed in your previous posts--maybe you could post the links.
