Hmm.. Weird. I'm not using the CBOE's normal option page; if you get to their option quote page from the main menus you end up with an abbreviated list, and a link to 'All Options'. It could be that there's something odd strange and wonderful about these options which may normally be hidden, and we've stumbled across them because I always use the all options page. Or maybe it's just a mistake. Doug.

Probable Vivus scenario: 1.Gary gets tired of waiting for a move up to write calls and sells Nov-30s. 2.After the close that same day, Vivus announces approval for distribution in 93 new countries while simultaneously Pfizer realizes that Viagra is actually fatal to 99% of the population. 3.At the open the following day, Vivus gaps up to 150 and Gary gets called out having made $2 per share. Anyone else out there still holding for the move up and getting really restless? Gary
