Vocex, You are correct about the premium on index options. I am targeting the 8600 range by the 3rd week of AUG, or at least a test the 8750 support line. Just as a rule of thumb I use the ratio of 16:1 to compare the OEX to the DOW. So a 400 point decline would be about 25 OEX points and 250 DOW points to = 16 OEX pts. I now prefer slightly out of the money strikeprices so the 550 range should be OK, unless the OEX takes off to the upside. Seeya
