>>Well, the Dow Utilites Index is beginning to bother me...since most my bets have been place for the downturn to continue!<< When are all the dividends done being paid out. I know Sept 25 was a major pay date but I am not sure if they are all done yet now. Once the dividends are paid, they should start to fall. They are always hot in September as everyone wants a piece of the high dividends so the sector tends to inflate. PS- too lazy to look up the call up the index abbreviation. I think you are on to something here. Any help? I may get some puts on it if the market bounces tomorrow since the investors will be dumping utility stocks once the dividends are paid. Lee
