What happened there?

Nice find! Thnx.

SPX options have a settlement premium built in that is not in SPY options which will give the effect of them having slightly higher premiums at the same interval of time. Of course that is not free, you pay for it in the long run.

Hi Wappler, thnx for the post. I'll throw some ideas your way in a few weeks.

I guess this market is a fader's dream.

Chop chop....

Haha...I wasn't referring to you or anyone on this thread just the ET community in general. :)

That's a good post Bob. Not sure they will get it. Maybe after a few reads.
