MarketWatch Option Chains are still giving old Open Interests. While checking for other sources of information, I found: schaeffersresearch.com. This option chain shows no volume for options which both MarketWatch and Yahoo show some volume. CBOE (the gold standard) also shows no volume. So MarketWatch and Yahoo are giving volumes from prior days instead of showing zeros. How comforting!

(I HATE that!) I'll probably switch my data source for the Historical Options tracking to Schaeffer. But it will take a few days to reprogram given my work load. -Magrathea
