Mike: Thanks for the info.

I have yet another question.. suppose I own the JAN 80 call options on XYZ and XYZ is now trading at $70 and I have no hope I'll see $80. How easy will it be to sell my calls to minimize my loss, rather than just let the option expire worthless? I would guess this has a lot to do with trading volume of the stock and open interest on the option.
In summary, how likely is it that I will be unable to sell of the option because no one wants to buy it?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

>>SPX and OEX index options trade until 4:15 ET.

Is this the same for equity options.. and do they open along with the equity markets or at a different time?

Thanks again,
Mike
