russell mini tonight?

[polee2000]

thanks guys.
actually that was more of a rebalancing trade due to Katrina. I still have like 5 sitting around hedged with some OCT 627.5 calls.
i dont get it the future option bid/ask spread is frigging nuts 4 bucks, while RUT is like 80 cents at most. Also it seems 30pts itm is deepest MM would go.

bill maclaren is calling for the s&p to 1190 by tuesday so the russell will definately snap down if that pans out.

it could be a point for a point move for these 2.
current spread 4500 ER2 over ES. all time high is 6600 while low is like -1000. so 3000 even 2000 is not out of a question.

well i will watch the er2 at 3:00 when the eu markets open to see how it trades with the es then --- in the mean time i am holding my current short positions but thinking of adding some size.
