Re: [RT] Options

["Kent Rollins" <kentr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You will frequently see this when a stock splits.  When 
this occurs, there is a requirement to have contracts that have the same strike 
prices and expirations as normal contracts, but the contracts will be for 
200 shares instead of the normal 100 shares.  I bet if you look, you 
will see that SEBL split recently.

OptionsThe symbol break comes at 82 1/2.  see the 
attachment there is only one symbol for the 85s. And January calls would have an 
AQ not a WQ.

  I know this might sound like a real stupid questions, but I dont know the 
  answer so im asking.  The million dollar question is. in regard to 
  options why are there two symbols for one strike price. exp....  for 
  SEBL on the Jan leaps 2001  for strike 85 One symbol is EZGWQ.X and 
  theres another symbol thats SGWWQ.X  for the same strike 
  price.    Is this because they are trading on diff exchanges or 
  is it because it is a different contract size all 
  together? ThanksTroywallst@xxxxxxxx
