Hey guys. I went onto bloomberg and pulled up the options chain for DIA (the DOW). I'm confused by a few things. Please help.
The September chain matures at 9/18. Why the random date?
I selected a near the money strike, 103, and looked at the price history. The price history only goes back to about May 2010. Are there more liquid maturities that have longer price history? When you see different maturities on say, morningstar, that is just a few of the available maturities, correct? Call options on DIA are floating around at just about all maturities, right?
Why is the pricing data so sparse? Some days it looks like this thing didn't even trade. I thought there was a ton of liquidity in DOW options.
Thanks for the help!
