Article Abstract:
Options on equities in the United Kingdom can be traded through the London International Financial Futures Exchange (Liffe), and those that do not go through Liffe are called 'traditional options.' Traditional options can cover a wider range of stocks than those covered by Liffe which number some 70 stocks. Traditional options doo, however, offer less flexibility in terms of selling and buying. Liffe offers standardized and interchangeable option contracts, and good information is available.
