Futures Options Feedback: Listeners take over

  • Question from Mate7 - Good talk on ex. and settle on last show. I'm looking over the CME website option specs pages and I don't see many American style contracts. Why does CME use so many European contracts? Are they against early exercise?

  • Question from Delman - Those Russell buy-write indices you discussed on the last show. What are the tickers? Can I trade them directly? Are there options listed?
