Mini Options

ISE launched mini option contracts on March 18, 2013. The launch included five securities: Google (GOOG), SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY).

If the underlying security trades above $90, there is a possibility of an additional series of mini options. Weekly and quarterly mini options were also introduced by exchanges. Weekly mini options expire within the week compared to the usual one month window. This gives the trader more ability to match the short-term market movement with the option.

A mini option contract has an appended number 7 symbol to its security name ( AAPL7, GOOG7, GLD7, AMZN7, SPY7). Mini options are beneficial to small traders who cannot afford to perform large trades using the standard 100 shares per contract. Risk is managed better as the traders will be able to trade the popular stocks without taking too much from their capital.

A mini option is for 10 shares of the underlying stock or ETF, rather than 100 shares as is the case with “regular” options. So far, there are mini-options only on five stocks: Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), Gold ETF (GLD), and S&P 500 SPRDs (SPY).

      How did you suspect you have cancer?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
