Looks like the Nikkei just broke support levels at 
12,000

  Subject: [RT] Timing Foreign 
Options
  
  I have been looking at buying foreign market 
  options that move in sympathy with the US markets.
   
  Usually when the US markets tanks, the Nikkei 
  will fall too.
  I have not done a calculation on the percentage 
  of times this happen although.
   
  Here is a link to global markets that is 
  updated every minute.

  I bought some 125 puts on the JPN

  They would have been in the money but the Nikkei 
  bounced from its 12,005 low.
   
  But I find that the volume is very low and the 
  spreads are high.
   
  Can anyone recommend other global option plays to 
  capitalize on the global markets that can be bought by the end of day here to 
  profit from any gaps and sympathy moves?
   
  Thanks
