Re: Options Trading

Hi Ramon!

I've been trading options on E*Trade and agree with you that it's simple and straightforward. I also have accounts at eSchwab and use them to get data as to the bid and ask on options.

So, you might want to tell your friend to look under "Symbol Lookup" in eSchwab. The options chains can be called up there, and show the symbol for each strike price and and expiration date. They chose to hide it away under "Symbol Lookup," which is somewhat logical, but some title with "Options" in it might make more sense.

Oh, and I now notice they have a link to the "Symbol Lookup" chain page on the Trading: Options page.

Best wishes,
Tom
