Thanks for setting the record straight, Michael. It was kind of you to say I was close, but close only counts in hand grenades & horseshoes. <g> If I may impose once more, ther are so many various indicies anymore I have completely lost track of what expires on Thursday & what expires on Friday. I recall the break up of expirations to attempt to avoid the wild fluctuations seen on quarter end. With all the techs over on NASDAQ, I suppose the expiration days of the following would be of interest: SPX OEX NDX SOX NYA Thanks Again, Doug
