I am only used to buying stock options that are either FAR out in expiration or have LOW TRADING VOLUME. I know that expiration date is vital for any option. Lately i have been watching the Yahoo! Options Most Actives under High Volume and Unusually High Volume.stock options. I have never owned one with open interest in the 10,000-150,000 (or higher) range. Many stock options like Microsoft, Intel, Bank of America, Citibank, and others trade daily and weekly in high volumes as OPTIONS. Many of these options also have affordable prices-in single and double digits. They also have DAILY RANGES of 10%-15% in many cases. My experience is with the options that have the LOWEST Volumes and trade infrequently (sometimes weeks). Do the mentioned options really trade on a daily basis? In this price range? Can these be profitable in the SHORT TERM? Thanks
