Nihil - Re: "Public options trading started on April 26, 1973 (on the CBOE). If you have been "trading" options since 1965 you must have some wonderful stories about how you did it without an exchange. Do you care to share? " Thanks for the heads up on "Shorty O'Neill" !!! I can't wait for his reply - and his NEW UPDATE to his profile which hasn't been "updated" since yesterday - to reflect his 1965 Option Trading Experience. Paul

nihil. RE: If you have been "trading" options since 1965 you must have some wonderful stories about how you did it without an exchange. Do you care to share? I don't know anything about Mr. O'Neill's experience, but in reality many people have a lot of experience trading options before 73. There was a very active over the counter market in options similar to the OTC stock market that existed before the creation of Nasdaq, although it was primarily the territory of professionals. Any retail action in options was not too beneficial to the customer.
