S&P 500 index options trade under the root symbol SPX, according to the Chicago Board Options Exchange website. I don't understand everything I know about this, but more info is available at the CBOE website: cboe.com

<I believe that options on SPY do not exist. However, you can trade futures on the S&P500. It's not a play for the faint of heart, however.>

Thanks Tim. I was hoping to hold SPY and write covered calls.
Maybe someday...
