Comiskey--Two more points. First, the entire option chain data base is available from CBOE. Downloads can be slow but looking at the whole thing gives you some perspective. After close each day bid/ask is included. Look under "delayed quotes".

cboe.com Second, some brokers like Schwab curently have a strict 50% margin requirement on QCOM. This probably will disappear if Q's earnings improve and their P/E drops.
