Re: Options: Underlying Security Spilt?

Your option will split in the same proportion as the underlying
security.  For instance If  you have a Jun MSFT 160 c  and MSFT splits 2
for 1  you will have 2 Jun MSFT 80 c's after the split.   You should have
received a little 80 page pamphlet from your broker when you opened your
option account  Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options.  Also
go to the CBOE site.  It's a good place to start with ?'s like that.
