Yahoo Finance Options Having Problems?

Question

Options quotes are incorrect for multiple stocks. For example IWM is missing April options but showing March even though it's now the 27th and we're 11 days past March expirations.

A quick scan of a few other symbols shows similar behavior, missing or invalid months.

Anyone know what's going on?

Answer 1

Yes Kirk B, it seems as if Yahoo  (excuse me...YAHOO!) just ain't on the ball...

Sorry, yahoo!...  ;>)

Answer 2

I've written them as well.

This issue has been going on for several weeks.  What many of us have been doing is using either our broker's website for option chains or just going to the cboe site.

But yes, it's definitely a pain in the butt.

If you have any questions where to find the data in the meantime, let me know.

Hope that helps!
