Jen-- I ditched IIX yesterday once I got into nitty gritty of the composition of the index and its behaviour on big drops of AOL Yahoo and Amazon-- IIX also has ASND COMS alonwith Yahoo and other exotic stuff-- the problem I see is that once these exotic speculators take some harsh beating the money comes out and goes into networking like ASND and COMs in case of Gin I saw CSCO also therefore the projected drop really does not come. I got out of my puts at a small 5/8 profit but decided to buy some long puts on Yahooo and Amazon. I did not get your question on indicators --please clarify for me. Certainly I see a arbitrage here one can sell index puts to purchase Yahoo as price velocity and volatility of yahoo is far in excess of Index moreover Index will be supported by ASND and COMs type of stocks in case Yahoo and amazon comes down big.
