Lisa, >>>>>>>>>> I know you play the indices....BUT in this time and space..the premium is out of this world and A Kiri has seen first hand how you can get screwed right now.. doesnt hurt to have an alternative <<<<<<<<<<<< My PUT spread (OEX 485/470) are doing fine, and my cost basis is only 4 1/4 now, so I just need a close at expiration of below 481 to break even. Granted a straight PUT now is awful in premium, but with spreads it can minimize the premium. Im just a lousey stock picker. gggggggggggggggggggggg Seeya BM
