Sure they do and different uses for different people - lots wouldn't know an option if it bit them, but there are a lot of traders who put on some kind of protective disaster hedge based on the ebb and flow of international craziness. As far as cost, you should be able to keep cost to a...

For simplicity, assume you're long your 5 contracts. If the market suffered a 100 point gap down due to an "event" - you can easily do the math. With market breakers, if the event was bad enough it could be days/weeks before you were able to exit (possibly even lower). So how much could you...

No different than Hertz/Avis/etc. charging you for 5 days instead of 4 because you picked up the car at 10am on Monday and brought it back at 1pm on Friday. Or the car rental company charging you $6/gallon because you didn't fill the tank up before you brought the car back (even though it was...

They don't for the same reason Walmart and other retailers don't advertise their pricing inclusive of sales tax.

The CME servers at least used to be periodically synched to the national atomic clocks, so synching your PC similarly should get you a match within about a second. How much closer than that do you practically need? Doubt the CME bothers to externalize an NTP server for the handful or less...

When you enabled the TV out, it may have essentially created a dual monitor desktop - which would explain why you didn't see your normal desktop setup on the TV screen (just the background) and why your mouse pointer seems to drift off the right edge of your laptop screen (it might be moving...

FYI - for those unfamiliar with them: A cluster bomb is essentially like dropping 600-700 fragmenting grenades at once. The cluster casing opens and the individual grenades/bomblets separate and saturate an area. In theory they're all supposed to explode and lace the target region with...

SBC in the Chicago area Another alternative if you have broadband internet is to check out Vonage - around $30-40/month unlimited local and long distance VOIP. I've tried it, voice quality was good but I use the home landline as a worst case internet fallback (so if cable broadband's out -...

Could be something unique to your phone company. I just pulled my phone bill so you can compare to your pricing: Unlimited local service w/ callerID, call waiting, vmail, etc. - $28.95 Unlimited long distance - 20.00 Non-listed service (BS charge so they DON'T publish my #) - 0.50 Privacy...

ABC's pretty desperate these days for anything that'll get any ratings - they've managed to fall to 4th place overall behind NBC, CBS, and FOX Only reason UPN and WB aren't ahead of them is the list of stations in those two nets is still too low to stack up enough total viewers.

A conviction and 10 appeals - sounds like no one was buying the mental illness angle.

It isn't Qwest that's screwing you - it's all the taxing agencies (city, county, state, and 5-6 different federal "chuck you farleys") - they've got their damn noses stuck deep in your pocket as usual. Try finding a breakdown of why a gallon of gas costs $2.25/gallon - it's really about $1.38...

While I personally think WT is total crap, just because you've upgraded to a new version of ANY software does NOT give you the right to sell the old version - you bought a license to use the software and an upgrade is NOT a second license, it is a refresh of the executable code used with your...

Ball lightning isn't nearly as rare as suggested in the Reuters article. In addition, depending on the energy spectra of the specific occurance, it's possible that most/all of the energy dissipation was in the infrared range. Also, ball lightning is well known to chase aircraft and people -...

29,889 BTU/l of gasoline 22,217 BTU/l of ethanol - however, ethanol burns more efficiently and is considered (when comparing to gasoline) to have a "replacement" coefficient of 26,575 BTU/l - there's also a 3,720 BTU/l of energy represented by co-product displacement 35,109 BTU/l of...

Check again - on their nav bar, expand the ETFs tree, then expand the Product Information tree, then click Description and pick an ETF (DIA), then click Distributions in the navbar and it should should you the annual distribution summary for DIAs - looks like there's some kind of distribution...

What you describe is an arb trade by itself and the only reason someone might do it is if they could capture a definable premium on a pricing imbalance (although the typical arb trade would be to buy the DJIA underlyings basket and sell the futures if the futures were sufficiently overpriced...

There's no such thing as market depth for INDU - it's just a cash index (arithmetically derived) and isn't a tradable instrument.
