Does anybody know of any On-Line infomation service that gives detailed
daily and weekly Option information? I need to know Calls, Puts, Open
price, Close price, and volume. I could live with just the weekly
summary, but daily would be nice.
About 7-8 years ago I belonged to The Source, a now-defunct info
service that gave a lot of stock info but not much on options. I also
used Quotrek for a while until it proved to be not what I was looking
for. Since then, I've obtained literature from a bunch of services
(including DJ and others) but not one has covered my area of interest.
Anyone know of a service that does?
Thanks in advance.

Signal End-of-Day provides this via FM or cable (via CNBC and C-SPAN)
and would provide your PC with price&volume data on every listed option.
Runs about $55/month and is a good cross between low cost and
high convenience. As you may remember, 1-800-SMARKET.
There are also dialup services that let you download data but I find
them to be more cumbersome than a broadcast service.

| 397.2 | Daily Open Interest | UNYEM::SCOBLICK | Sun Jun 20 1993 07:47 | 16 | |
I would like to know the current open interest on an option when I am
making a buy/sell decision. I can get the weekly open interest figures
from Barron's, and the daily volume from Investor's Business Daily, but
without knowing how the volumne breaks down between opening and closing
transactions, I can not see how to calculate the daily open interest.
Or am I missing something here???
Should a broker who specializes in options be able to pull the current
open interest figures up on a screen?
thanks,
Frank

The Wall Street Journal gives daily listings including open interest
for something like the 1000 most actively traded options, if that
helps.
