The SPOO's are the S&P futures (Options). The symbol is /sp9h and it is a futures contract that expires (I believe) every year. A new symbol is issued for each new contract. The SPOO's are a good indicator to the direction of the market. They are volatile and move faster than the S&P Index, so they can give you earlier warning than the S&P Index. The S&P index is traded like any stock and is more fluid in reference to the volume traded than most stocks. Therefore, it is easy to make the trade at any time. The symbol is SPY. Also, The SPY'ders can be shorted at any time. No up-tick is required to short this index. Depending on the system you use to trade (i.e.- Etrade, PCQuote, Realtick III, any brokers system with level II, ...etc.) you should be able to pull up a chart on the SPYders or better yet the SPOOs. Keep track of the direction of that chart and it will tell you if the market is strong or weak and if you should hold on to a particular stock. There is a lot more to it but that was a quickie. Good trading, JEB
