They're just matching SPX on the Monday, they've had Wed ES options for a while and the weeklies obviously for some time. As I've pointed out a number of times, it pretty arrogant to assume that just because you don't see a strategy or have a need for a financial product doesn't mean it doesn't exist. From the volume thousand of others, like me, are able to use the M, W, F SPX options. Perhaps you should be looking at how you can to, it may be a better use of your time than comparing it to being raped by various ethnic gangs, which by the way is just wierd.

Sig,
the CME floor traders trade most of the time with each other based on their ethnicity. So on the floor you will find the Italian click, the Irish click or the Jews click.
Furthermore, there are other safer instrument to trade than the weekly options than you very much!

I don't believe a word you're saying. BTW, you sound like a wimp.

First, enough with this crap about ethnic groups acting illegally without a bit of evidence, not to mention, who the hell trade weeklies with a floor broker, especially if you think they're ripping you off? You have heard of this Globex thing, yes?
And they're unsafe, what do you mean? You're afraid they'll give you an STD? Because they're more liquid than the vast majority of listed options, all of which presumably you'd consider "safe". They never take your money without delivery, they always deliver the ES position if you're ITM, so exactly what do you mean by "safe"?
 
CME is just trying to compete with S&P 500 options (most IBD people are less keen on futures options). The mid-week expiries are useful to the OTC world (for example, to manage a cliquet book) so there will be a fair bit of flow in these coming from IBDs if CME can get some share of that market.

PS. the whole ethnic thing about the various floors is so 20 years ago

Anyone whom has ever traded on a trading floor.. Open Outcry @ CME or NYMEX, at any point in time, knows it to be fact... call it human nature but don`t be naive.

You failed to answer any of my questions. We all could give two f%@ks what happened on the trading floor in your glory days. I think you made black people ride in the back of the bus and use separate drinking fountains back then too, but the world's changed. For one thing we all use this Globex thing you appear not to be familiar with, and we don't call something "unsafe" unless we can articulate what's unsafe about it. So, what exactly is unsafe about Monday expiry ES options again?
