Don, I have been observing your posts. Can you perhaps post the diffirent volatilities of these indices you track? Premiums are directly related to volatilities, so I didn't understand your post to electric regarding other indices having less expensive premiums, if they swing a bit most likely premiums are correspondingly expensive. The only published volatility i know of is the VIX for the OEX. And since the other indices are less traded I would think they command higher premiums (less players taking the opposite position) or perhaps larger spreads. Sergio

Don, I want you to get into your theories, in fact I ask you to. Kevin and I were looking at alternatives for trading the SPX/OEX because of the stripping that occurs, but he couldnt find one that was actively traded and moved in premuim like these 2 do. If you have some analysis on indexes that move like the SPX/OEX and arent as manipulated or heavily traded, please I am sure that there is alot of intrest in what you have to say, I know I for one am listening. I value your posts and look for your name specifically to read your updates.. Do you do any market flow anayisis? If you do tell me about HMTT. It is a stock I bought that just met estimates, has a low PE and is in a lousy segment (DD maker) and makes $$$ but is being grounded. Thanks!
