Hi, everyone. I would be interested in knowing hom many options are hold by a given manager inside a company (you know what I mean, I am talking about those people who have to do SEC filings when they operate). I would like to know also if there is a lockup period and when it expires, before...

I am not sure I inderstand your question. The Put-Call ratio on a given underlying corresponds exactly to the ratio between the volume of short and long positions. However, you can get a more precise information on that underlying by looking at the open interest at a specific strike price.

Correct. But the open interest tells you the amount of new positions being opened on that option, i.e., an increase of the open interest on a call tells you that there is an increase of long positions on that derivative and viceversa.

In order to get some meaningful information, wouldn't be sufficient to see how the open interest changes?

Hi everyone. I was looking at the EUR/JPY cross rate. It is now about 157,79. What strikes me is the discrepancy with the future price I look here: http://www.cme.com/trading/dta/del/delayed_quote.html?ProductSymbol=RY&ProductFoiType=FUT&ProductVenue=G&ProductType=cur As you can see the...

l For the benefit of other users, I translate this: Only in Italy, thanks godness. What is your problem? Italy? Goldman Sachs? The DJI? :confused:

OK. The story is this one. I made it simpler, but apparently didn't wotk. I bought CALL 11500 on DJI sold by goldman sachs on the italian market. They are called "covered warrants" and are sold only on the italian market. However, they told me will that they will refer to the CBOE price for...

The ticker is: DJI. The name is : Dow Jones Industrial Avg. Thanks again. Arturo

Thanks for the answer. I have the CALL 11500 on Dow Jones Index. Arturo.

I see. But how come that the settlement value for the Dow Jones Index is completely off-scale respect to, say, the Nasdad100 and SP500 figures? (see my previous post) Thanks in advance. Arturo

Thanks for the links. I followed them through and I found the following info at http://www.cboe.com/micro/djx/questions.aspx#premiums : Are DJX options European or American-style? ....STUFF DELETED..... The expiration date is the Saturday following the third Friday of the expiration...

Thanks, Grant, for the answer and for your intellectual honesty. I am referring to the CBOE exchange. I am told that this figure should be displayed somewhere on their web site, but I haven't been able to find it. Do you know if this figure is called "settlement value"? Thanks again for...

Hello, Grant. Thanks for your reply. I know the basics, but I wasn't sure which one is the price that should have been used, i.e., opening, closure, etc., for calculating the reimbursement. Thanks anyhow for your concerns. Arturo
