<<Why is the Canadian options markets so illiquid?

Could it be that the MM's are hiding what liquidity there is because customer-offerings are in competition with their own ? Who decides what orders will be posted ?

Today with the market showing .80 - 1.05, I offered to sell five options @ 1.00. My offer was never posted.... it still shows .80 - 1.05. The added liquidity provided by my order (and yours) is hidden in the interests of the MM.(I have no doubt that my order will be filled IF someone should happen to choose that particular option to buy).

"but few Canadians are being informed about no-brainer benefits such as buying covered calls for their conservative RRSP holdings."

Did I miss something? I was always under the opinion that options could not be held in an RRSP.
