anyone know where I can get a good listing of the VIX weekly option chains online somewhere? Yahoo has nothing and its virtually impossible to find something decent for some reason.
That is interesting. I didn't realize that Yahoo showed only monthly options for ^VIX. I don't know if there is a completely free open online source for weekly VIX index option prices, and I assume you have already done the obvious web searches for that. So, I'll just mention a few brokerages that I checked. On TD Ameritrade, the symbol for the underlying is $VIX.X. On Interactive Brokers and TradeKing, at least through TK's automated system, the symbol is VIX. All three of these brokerages appear to list the weekly VIX weekly index options. If that answer is not sufficient or you want to encourage more researched answers, I recommend that you list which brokerages you currently use, so that people trying to help you can do so more efficiently.
You can go to the CBOE web site and get slightly delayed quotes on the weeklys for free. http://www.cboe.com/delayedquote/quotetable.aspx Click on the "all option series button"
Thanks, thats more of less what I want. I had this too but I don't think it updates right. http://www.optionistics.com/quotes/stock-option-chains/VIX
