solid 1.5-2.5 % a month is very achievable in Index dispersion strategy . If you chose DOW , your universe is only 31 stocks. One can easily manage even a full replication of Index. There are a few nuances of course , but once certain rules are established , its become a routine process .

bingo:)

read Ib-soft answers ; maybe SEC investigation can supply him info which he asked from me , lol http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=835119&highlight=PHLX#post835119
