Richard...>>>Another puzzle: E*Trade lists two different puts for many strike prices, with widely differing prices. For example, for Dec '01 420 puts they list SOYXD, with an ask of 2.95, and SXXXD, with an ask of 16.30. Do you know what the difference is?<<<< Here is my interpretation...When you see a call or put with wildly different prices for the same strike...the lower priced option represents the current stock price and the much higher priced option represents the same strike pre split. Example A LRCX March Expiration at the 20 strike may show two different options...one trading at 3 and one trading at 9, because this past year LRCX split 3 for one. (in this example the prices are not accurate...its an example) Regards, Jerome
