Good question because generally speaking 100 shares = 1 options contract. However, there are some rare exceptions:

1- New mini-options. These are options which have 10 shares of the underlying security per options contract. They apply to 5 more expensive securities like AAPL, GOOG and a few more. More are expected to be added in the near future.

2- Contract adjustments as a result of stock splits, mergers and acquisitions. In these cases each options contract is based on the specific event that caused the adjustment so there is no one rule that applies to all. One contract may include shares + cash, for example. A resource you can use (other than calling your broker) is on the CBOE site:

I am reading your encyclopedia and feel like I’m finally starting to understand options. I am wondering if all stocks require 100 shares to sell options or are there exceptions to this rule. Thanks for all you do for us.

Henry,

Yes we do. The CANSLIM screen is mentioned in my books. Although our specific screening process does not include CANSLIM, most or all of the CANSLIM stocks are found in our database of over 3000 stocks BCI has identified over the years as potential covered call candidates. We screen these stocks every week for our premium members. These stocks are part of the “other sources” column on the Premium Stock Screen and Watch List. For those who are not premium members I would encourage you to consider this list as well as the IBD 50 if your watch list needs additional candidates.

Do you considser the stocks in the IBD CANSLIM model? They seem to meet your fundamental requirements. Thank you.

Due to a number of subscribers requesting the ability to be able to copy data from the downloaded report (in Secured PDF format) and paste that data into their own purpose built spreadsheets, we have opened the security of the report to allow you to copy and paste. You will have to do a minor
edit of the copied data, but the time required to do the edits are
minimal.
