where do i find the date of issuance of a series for a particular stock.. they are .. i know the typical weeklies come out.. but if a series is listed for the next two expiries apr/may... then skips to aug.. whens jun get issued? where do i find that info?
this is what i got from emailing investorservices@theocc.com .. i got a response this morning.. quickness. Cave: Thanks for the inquiry. Most options trade on one of three âcyclesâ â Jan, Feb, March cycles (or cycles 1,2 and 3 respectively) â and will offer the two âfront monthsâ (currently April and May) and two from one of the three cycles. SPLK trades on cycle 2 â you can tell as the next month after the front months is August. As such, when June becomes a front month, youâll see it added. This will occur after the April expiration. So I suspect youâll see the June expiration added after the April expiration or about April 22.
