I've read quite a few posts on this board about how difficult it is to find good options information online. So I've decided to create a thread where people can post their favorite, and most reliable, options sites. I've traded options for a number of years and these are the sites I've come to rely on for good options information. They are all good, reliable and, best of all, free:
WWW.CBOE.COM - What can I say? The CBOE is the granddaddy of options sites. It's getting a little long-in-the-tooth these days, but it still has a decent offering of the basics.
WWW.THEOPTIONSINSIDER.COM - One of my first stops in the morning. I love their options news ticker. They also have excellent articles aimed at everyone from novice traders to options masters. These guys know their stuff. If you want to learn about options, or if you're a pro looking for some insight, this is the place.
www.888options.com - The OiC's site. Good basic info for options novices. If you're a pro, skip to the next site...
www.oicoptions.com - The OIC's new site for institutional options traders. It's still new, so it doesn't have much content yet, but give it time. This site could become very interesting.
Those are my picks based on my experiences online. There are many paid options sites on the web, but I frequently find the free sites to be more insightful and reliable. That's probably because they are more focused on providing good info rather than on selling you strategies, newsletters, etc.
