Let me tell ya....these kids who "improve" software should have somebody show up at their house and tell them the way way their car operates was just improved. Some gamook improved Netscape. My e-mail crashed so my kid up graded me from Netscape 3 to 4.03 or whatever. Now I have to spend hours figuring out what some kid changed simply because he thought Netscape would be cuter in pink than in blue. My kid seemed horrified at my anger at first but now he's starting to get it. I don't want to have to re-learn everything every time there is a new release. IT SUCKS! I have to get to a Post Office, I need stamps; can someone loan me some ammo?

The guy said they price the options off the premium in the futures and they are priced relative to each other based on Implied Volatility. You are asking for a specific example? Like, "With 34 days to go on the June contract and the premium at $4.54 and the Implied Vol is (whatever IV is) and there is a one point move in the OEX what would be the change in the ATM call and why?" I think the guy might throw me out the window. But if that's the question, I'll ask one of them tonight. I will definitely wait until they have been drinking a while, however.
