Another point that I have is when I look at daily volumes there I can't find any options with large trade volumes or open interest. Maybe I am looking in the wrong spot but the equities with high daily volume shown are for all of the various options. Is there any equities or ETF options with large daily volumes in particular strike prices and dates? thanks Don I download the presentation and liked what I saw however there weren’t any speaking notes which would help.
