Ken I have a question about the OEX index option? I look at the OEX index, I use TradeStation 4.0 The OEX index is at ~542. When I look at options for the OEX there all in the 400's. If I was to buy puts the closest put to the money is 490? Could you explain this? p.s. If this is not something you do I understand and would be sorry to have clutered your thread. p.s.2 I enjoy your thread (first time post) Jeff...

Ken, please take a look at this options list: AHP May 95 call CMB May 130 call MCD May 55 put AXP May 110 put MER May 85 call XCIT May 30 call XCIT May 55 put YHOO May 130 call YHOO May 120 put AMZN May 110 call PSFT May 55 call I did select them based on the criteria: high volume AND low OI. (Do you use special software to select great options based on this criteria ?) Which ones do you like the best ? Special thanks in advance for your help and kindness ! Best Regards, 1stSunRay
