just read the last few hundred posts here....GOOD stuff, except for the Asian recipes; a little off topic (kidding!). Anyway, 2 questions for the group:
1.) why are options listed at CBOE usually 2.50 to 5.00 apart? Is there a way to sell a call at an in-between strike price?

2.) most of the stocks discussed here are tech stocks, particularly QCOM, (which is very puzzling since most people I know lost their shirts on it last year.....)Question though is this: why not have a GE, or IBM, or At&T as your underlying? is it too boring to own those, or is it the lack of volatility which reduces the premium and chases folks toward hi-tech issues?

Just wondering, and thanks in advance.
