<DIV><BR></DIV>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.
