Mini options comming

This may make options trading as popular as FOREX. This allows investors/traders to play high priced stocks/etfs with lower risk, while getting leverage and movement.

 

Been around since March:

Yeah, and Deng Xioping died!

 

unfortunately they don't come with "mini" commissions...so for my money pretty worthless until brokers change their pricing structure.

 

SPY and GLD do not need the mini-options, a position in the regular options is cheap enough.

 

I actually didn't know these things existed.

 

This is really old news. In other news, I hear TSLA is going to IPO soon. I wonder how that will work out.

 

Cool, been looking forward to that one! Good thing I am in tune with things.

 

FYI: The mini-options have a 7 after the ticker symbol.
