This may make options trading as popular as FOREX. This allows investors/traders to play high priced stocks/etfs with lower risk, while getting leverage and movement.

unfortunately they don't come with "mini" commissions...so for my money pretty worthless until brokers change their pricing structure.

SPY and GLD do not need the mini-options, a position in the regular options is cheap enough.

I actually didn't know these things existed.

This is really old news. In other news, I hear TSLA is going to IPO soon. I wonder how that will work out.
