When you consider that the Nobel Prize actually did go to two economists who supposedly worked out how to calculate the value of options, and that at least one of them was involved in managing Long Term Capital (was that its name?) that almost collapsed before the Fed rescued it last fall---well, I think you would be a good choice with your thesis.

Mike, That is a pretty big prize check they give on the Nobel. Of course, buy the time you write the book and hear the announcement and wait to get the check in your grubby hands, the total honarium will only allow you to buy one OEX contract. <g>
