Steve re your question >>What are the advantages / disadvantages of these DEM-denominated options that you guys are playing with ?<< advantages/ disadvantages: they make / lose money I do that because its sort of my home turf - I can smell the burnt chicken feather or spilt gasoline here, but not if it happens in US. And Juri, you know the Guiness record setter: he's the longest leap frog around. And I dont think Chicago offers you SAP leaps for february 2001. DM denominated (g). dj

"What are the advantages / disadvantages of these DEM-denominated options..." Steve, very simple: a few of the best performing companies worldwide are situated in Germany and not "known" in Chicago - por ejemplo SAP. They have no SAP-leaps in Chicago - and that's the best stock of all IMHO - so I must learn how to handle options in Düsseldorf or Stuttgart or elsewhere... The German-market seems to me very "rich" - a lot of offers, a lot of expiration-dates, strikes - it's not easy to "overlook" what is good or less good for my needs. That was the simple answer to your question. Jury PS: long term I should consider to move my assets to Europe. Europe is more developed in (IMO) important items: better energy-handling, less wars, better ressource-usage, less environment-catastrophics, better product-quality. Germany esp. has a longterm positive export-balance. It's a greater market than US: All together (and considering that I'm a DM or Pesetas-consumer) it's longterm a good idea for me to earn my money in Euros instead taking more and more loss when I change $$$ to Euros.

MG, Re: More Bull I've been working on a new indicator. I always seem to make things more complicated than they are. We are in interesting times! The market is at historic over-valuation levels, we've had a great run over the last few weeks, and we are in options expiration week. Yet, my newly designed indicator, with no historical data to support it, reflects daily buy indicators on OEX, TRAN, DRG, and PSE. Sadly, I do not get a buy signal on BKX (owning CCI). Can you suggest a good sector symbol to track the retail sector on IQ? I'm following 16 stocks and (without a retail) 8 sectors. Look forward to sharing the results. Definitely somewhat burdensome right now, as it takes about two hours each evening to update the spread sheet. Seems like I should just buy an internut stock and forget all this effort. Berney
