The Chicago Options Market
In the markets we have study they buy and sell shares, debentures and bonds. The Chicago Board options exchange, more known by its initials CBOE, is a market in which options are trade over shares.
Its initials CBOE, is a market in which options are trade over shares. Before the foundation of the CBOE in 1973, the stock exchange agencies would remit al their options over securities to the put and call dealers association. All the options mediator agents were members of this association and all the options call (rights for buying) and puts (rights for selling) were formalized according to the needs of a determined client.
The only mission of the member firm was to guarantee that the mediator agent that formalized the option has the sufficient financial solvency to confront the conditions of the option.
The procedure changed when the CBOE. Began its function. For the first time you could count with an active market in which you could negotiate with buying and selling options over most of the securities admitted to quotation. And this how the negotiation of options stop from being relegated to an obscure corner; furthermore, the volume of options that have been negotiated in the CBOE has grown do much that the NYSE, the AMEX and some of the regional markets have decided to permit the negotiation of options on their respective floors.
The great investors have also become into an important strength within the world of options negotiations; while several stock exchange agencies and some investment consultants have developed, with the help of the computers, complex strategies for this kind of operations.
The orders are carry through the CBOE in a similar way, in which the dealing orders at the stock exchange market are transacted, and the specialist companies, assistant agents, collegiate operators and personnel of operations work and function in much the same way.
