Expirationless options

Quote from Profitaker:


There will be no market for expirationless Puts because regardless of strike they will be worthless.

That's true, in BS terms, but expirationless does not necessarily mean exerciseless. An exerciseable, yet expirationless, put would be worth something.

Agreed, it should be, but it can't be. This is precisely where Put-Call parity breaks down.

This is total b*llocks IMHO.

Again, why has this "expirationless" never been done before ?
 
Quote from IV_Trader:

more news... according to CBOE rep , VIX options coming "sooner that everyone might think" , maybe in JAN 06.

I hope there will be more liq in the options/futures.
 
Probably would be most usefull as a tax dodge.
If you own 10,000 shares of msft sell a 10 expirationless call pocket the money and could avoid taxation.
