index of 20 of the largest, most liquid NYSE
and NASDAQ transportation
related stocks. The Dow Jones Utilities index option contract is based
on 1/100th (one-one-hundredth) of the current value of the Dow Jones
Utilities index. So, for example, when DUX is at 250, the Dow Jones
Transports level will be 2.5.
