I expected to see the next support on the OEX, SPX and INDU at about the same
percentages from current levels. However, OEX is at 502 or so about 4.2% from here.
INDU at 8600 is 2.3% and SPX at 1070 is 2.5%. Don't know why the OEX is
different, but it is interesting. If we continue to sell-off maybe that is the place to be.


I have been thinking about this

the flip side is that they would support the OEX more on the way down

last month patrick noted that the OEX was being supported more than the SPX
and then the next monday following expiry
the OEX was leading the SPX in movement down which is unusual

just rambling as I am figuring out what the market is trying to do

btw, remember the fine that some place had to pay because of manipulating the OEX options....perhaps OEX is more prone to this since it has fewer stocks...
