I want SOX futures!!!

bungrider · Nov 12, 2002

Enough with the SSF's, holdr's, and all the other AMEX crap.

I want SOX futures. Think about the possibilities for hedging, and the semi-manufacturers could use them the same way that farmers use the agr futures markets...

Just my thoughts...

Now that's a great idea. Why didn't they introduce those before SSF's?

Maybe they are in the filling stage?

I understand they are but SOX, OSX XAU the whole lot how good would that be!

How volatile will the underlying stocks be though!

these.

I do not know when they are coming out.

It appears that the futures mentined above are futures on a basket of 5 semiconductor stocks, which is NOT a direct correlation to the SOX index.
