Hi Apratim,..Re:.Of course, the resulting volatility is often used as a justification for greater spreads (necessary to protect the market maker) in a circular logic pattern.

Thanks for your reply. Although it explains some commonly used mechanisms, the practice has not resulted in abnormally high, by historical standards, volatility, (as measured by the CBOE VIX).

Historical volatility - 1986 - 1997

On your end note, I agree that we learn a great deal from Chuzz, Geoff and Nihil; however, we can't miss a chance to possibly learn more from those who have practical experience. (The open mind hypothesis!) <vbg>
