2:19PM Int'l Securities Exchange reports January volume (ISE) 37.98 +0.78 : Co reported that average daily trading volume for equity and index options contracts for January 2006 increased 49.5% to 2.7 mln contracts as compared to 1.8 mln contracts during the same period in 2004. Total equity and index options volume for the month increased 49.5% to 53.8 mln contracts from 36.0 mln contracts in the same year-ago period. "As was the case in prior months, we witnessed trading activity among options market makers on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and Pacific Exchange related to dividend trades whereby traders continued to profit at the expense of investors who failed to exercise their call options immediately prior to a stock going ex-dividend. If the volume from the largest dividend trades were excluded from the monthly data, our market share of equity options would have increased from 32.3% to 34.5%, an increase of 2.2 market share points." www.briefings.com
