No product I know of "years back" that did that. FLEX options which
are somewhat recent allow you to set any date (as long as it is not too
near the regular expiration). In SPX there were regular option with
and end of quarter expiration, but they rarely traded... it was simpler
just to buy OCTs to cover the September quarter.

back there was a type of option that institutions used to hedge until the
end of a quarter rather than the third thursday of the month. Can't
remember the name of them. Are they still in use?</FONT></FONT> <FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT SIZE=-1>thanks,</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT SIZE=-1>br</FONT></FONT>
