I think the QQQ is the Nasdaq 100 index symbol, the index that can be traded
like a stock. The NDX is the index symbol for the Nasdaq 100, for the
options with spreads of $1.5 to $10, No kidding, either. The Compx symbol
is for the Nasdaq 100? or 500? or whatever, this is the symbol most used on
CNBC, etc. These are all for DTN. Don't know about BMI.

know the BMI symbol for the Nasdaq 100! By the way, I didn't know it was
"QQQ" either, but I've learned to embrace my ignorance -- it's the only way
I can ever hope to learn anything! I don't use BMI & don't know how much
their symbols differ....on DTN the Nasdaq 100 is NDX; the composite is
COMPX.
