I see that April and May have only one set of options, but March, June, September, and December each have two sets of options. I'm guessing they have different maturity dates. Can someone please explain?

March, June, September and December are the end of three months and so it will have two expiration dates, one for the one month expiry and one for the three months expiry.

I have ALLOT of trading experience,But not options.You have "put if you think the stock will go up"call"if you think it will go down"Not to be a smart-jirk..Look back at your Q.March,june sep.I do no that some options expire at the end of each quarter of the year,FOR SURE! Finance people make a big deal about it ( M.Fds. buy and dump shares the last day of the quarter. )

BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH!

Okay, that had nothing to do with your question, but it was the only "explanation" I could come up with. ;-) I stick to stocks myself, so can't offer much experience with options. Sorry.
