Weekly expy gets expanded

Headley alerts me to the news that CBOE has expanded the weekly expy to more stuff.

Newly added are some major equities -- the latest CBOE data shows the following stocks and ETFs are now available on weekly options:

Stocks:  AAPL, ABX, AMZN, BAC, BIDU, BP, C, F, GOOG, GS, POT, XON

ETFs:  EEM, FAS, FAZ, GLD, IWM, QQQQ, SPY, XLF

Indices:  OEX, EO, DJX, SPX.

Cool stuff...this of course makes it probably a bit harder to trade these underlyings as now every week you have jockeying and hedging using the options...this is of course a wonderful time to be a market maker in these names...too bad that's not me.
