Tri-Guy:

See you are a tri-geek. Me sorta too, but have gone beyond (maybe below!) the "no pain no gain" mantra. I'm in a three year consolidation period, having been torched by too much (14 workouts/week more than I can maintain). Do 'em for fun and recreation, not competitive any more. Still love the sport, good luck to you.

Hi Tri-Guy,

An options contract is equal to 100 shares of stock. So, $1,000 shares/100 = 10 contracts that could be offered.

Only 100 share lots or units are normally used EXCEPT when there is a split readjustment. Say, a 2-1 split announcement would convert the options Calls to 200 shares of stock at half the price of the original strike price. So, the Dec. 20 would become 200 share @ $10 strike price because of the split adjustment.
