Title: RE: [sharechat] Options trading

|Use the Ticker lookup and part of a companies name and it will give you
|a list of securities including options that are available for
|that company.
|eg. choosing ASX &. 'Epitan' will give you EPTO (this used to
|be unreliable
|and often
|available options failed to appear, but Access have upgraded their
|system and this seems to work fairly well these days).

Just continueing the thread of Options. Do people find that the above is the best method for locating company issued options?

For example if I type Epitan into Power Etrade ... I get just the underlying share ... no options list in the search result. If I type EPT ... I get a large list which includes EPT and EPTO. Just again, not a 100% reliable way of getting a list of all the tradeable options etc.

NB. I should add however, that typing "Epitan" into the actual ETrade WWW Site does give EPT and EPTO ... I guess just have to find the right WWW Site to search on.

Cheers

Craig
