Question

Answer 1

As of today there are 2,502 equities with options listed in the CBOE equity option symbol directory.

http://www.cboe.com/TradTool/Symbols/Sym...

There are a few equities that have listed options that are not traded on the CBOE  which are not included in that directory.

If you are a big enough player you can trade FLEX and/or OTC options on any equity.

Answer 3

Not exactly sure what you are asking, but if you are talking about trading exchange-listed options then you can only trade options on stocks that have options listed on them. If a stock doesn't have options listed on it, then you cannot trade them.

Answer 4

Most stocks that are traded on a regulated exchange, can have option written against them

When you check the price of the equity on either Yahoo Finance or MSN Money  (http://finance.yahoo.com/

http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp)

There are tabs that will have the related options

Based on the wording of your question, before you invest in or trade any option contracts you should conder doing more studying so that you know what you are doing, how you are going to do it, and why you are doing it.
