Bid/ask spread - I think that some of the market makers for options have reduced capital, and need to make some money - so there is a less competitive environment, and wide spreads.

Makes me wonder about possible counterparty failure come expirations - but I am hoping the FED will finance the Options Clearing Corp...

If the option writers make money this week, I expect spreads to start to narrow by the middle of next week.
