The oex is an American style option.It can be 
exercised any time prior to expiration. European style options allow the 
holder to exerecise only at expiration. All equity options are American 
style.Most index options are European style.

  Subject: [RT] options
  Would someone please explain...I was told that with 
  the oex, one can buy puts/calls...... but the option cannot be redeemed 
  per se because the underlying vehicle is an index. If this is so, what 
  precisely does the option represent in actual real value?What I 
  wanted to do was buy an option with July expiry and my question was can I 
  exercise that option any time between now and July expiration?Thanks a 
  lot.To
