Quote from letdoit:
I have a question: Why do we choose RUT over SPY options?
Who is 'we'?
Choose whatever instrument you are comfortable trading. Do you prefer large stocks (SPX) or small (RUT)?
Do you prefer European style exercise (I do) - that's RUT. Do you prefer American style, that's SPY.
Do want to trade a $500 index or a $90 ETF?
There are lots of reasons to prefer one over the other.
