they did not all start trading QQQ options on the same day. CBOE started on 2/27, then ISE or PCST (i think on 3/1), then PHLX is coming soon. my "high volume" theory is just a guess... but in addition to this posted yesterday ( cboe.com ) my guess is another PR comes today or early next week (to "commemorate" 2wks of QQQ options trading at CBOE) ok, I'm not normally this cynical (well, ok... I may be :-), but there is definitely some bravado going on here as NDX options have been trading at the CBOE for a long time before QQQ tracking stock at AMEX. then CBOE releases VXN and AMEX QQV shortly thereafter. --- and on the other topic of what schwab reps know and when they know it... I was talking to a schwab rep one day saying in passing that their option commission were too high and were they planning on reducing. he said no. the following week, I get a flyer in the mail saying schwab is lowering their option rates.
