Is the index finger on your picking hand supposed to touch the strings of the guitar?
Q. When I'm playing guitar, I hold the pick between the index and thumb. I'll grip the pick with just a little of the pick sticking out by curling my index finger inward a little bit, but then my index finger starts to uncurl as I play and it starts to touch the strings. So my index finger is always touching the strings just before the pick touches it. Is this the way it's supposed to be? This is not such a big deal when it comes to strumming power chords and you're not too concerned with getting a clean sound, but it sucks when your trying to play single notes.

A. Generally if you're picking for clean tones, the index finger should not touch the next string, however, if you want certain sound effects that come with practice, it can be advantageous. Practice, practice and practice.

What is the difference between option on stock index and option on a stock index future?
Q. I understand what an option is. But what is the difference between option on the stock index and option on the stock index futures?
Asked by Joe Joseph - Thu Aug 6 04:52:37 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The difference is that an option on a stock index has the cash index as the underlying instrument. So, for the S&P 500 (SPX) options listed on the CBOE, the underlying instrument is the actual S&P 500 index, the one that gets quoted a lot on TV and in newspapers. These options are cash-settled. On the other hand, an option on a stock index future has the actual index futures contract as the underlying. So, for the options on the S&P 500 index futures (e.g. e-mini, ticker ES) that are listed on the CME, the underlying instrument is the e-mini futures contract. These options are either settled into cash (quaterly options) or into the nearst futures contract (serial options). For example, September options have the September futures contract… [cont.]

How do I create an index from various documents of word?
Q. I have a series of documents in word, and for instance, if the first one ends on page number 3, the next one starts on page 4 and so on.. How can I create an index that includes all of the documents?
Asked by IQ DOSON - Fri Aug 22 13:21:06 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Do you really mean index? Or maybe you mean table of contents? Well, you said index, so here goes... In the document where you want the index to appear, insert an { RD } field for each document in your series of documents, and then insert an { INDEX } field as you normally would if everything were in a single document. -- garfield-n-odie Microsoft MVP 2005-2008
