like May 490 call is 8-1/2/9-1/4, > The problem with RUT is that it is > very illiquid, hence the spread will be very high you will see the same thing with the SPX options...I have seen them with a spread of 1 1/2...very common so you have to gauge the move of your system with RUT and will it predict enough of a move to make it worth it... same thing with SPX...look at the last bid/ask on an at-the-money call today and though the OEX has less of a spread (although sometimes I have seen a big spread there as well)..you have to remember that it split and effected the way it moves as well
