misterkrusty Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 anybody know a way to request the powers-that-be to list new LEAP options? For example, i'd love it if I could buy Jan 2018 puts on Dean Foods, but currently the options only go out to Jan 2017. Like WEB has said, it's usually easier to know what's going to happen than when it's going to happen, so I like plenty of time for these short stories to crack. And LEAPs also make it possible to have a 15% tax rate on your gains.
WideMoat Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Just looking at the open interest in the Jan 2017 series (600 call contracts and 1200 puts), it would be tough to make the case. You could create a FLEX option, the minimum size is 150 contracts. You can definitely find a market at the right price, what did you have in mind?
constructive Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Here's the link to request a new option. http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/ContactCBOEEmail.aspx?Topic=New+Option+Listing+Requests I've never done it, but I think I remember reading someone else on COBAF had used it successfully.
misterkrusty Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 wow - thanks! didn't realize this existed
Green King Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 I've found pricing data and open interest. Please do share you experience if you had made a trade before. http://www.optionsclearing.com/webapps/flex-reports
