I am new to trading options and I am wondering why some months there are no options. For instance there are September and October, but no November or December options. How come? Do any stocks have these options or is there a reason?
All options have one of 3 cycles. Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct Feb, May, Aug, Nov Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec Plus the first two months (front months) Plus any LEAPS they list
Many of them become active when you get closer to expiration, so beside option cycles and depends what you trade, check your quotes later.
