Options on the E-mini S&P 500

[nilayvyas]

I guess this is kind of a newbie questions (but since this is my first post here, I guess I am a newbie) but here goes ...

I am looking at trading the e-mini sp500 futures contract.

When I go to the CME site, I see the Dec 2010 contract already has a volume of 9600. Looks nice and liquid, considering the time of day. When I go click on the OPT button to look at the the options contracts, I very rarely see any volume at all, usually 0 or 1.

So, what gives?

Is it just not possible to buy options on the emini sp500?

Thanks, in advance, for any answers.
