The current option chain for DIA shows two calls at the same strike
prices:
DAWCQ.X, Strike 121, with a current price of 1.86 and
BQQCQ.X, Strike 121, with a current price of 2.55
A pair like this exists for every price at or above 105.
A quick explanation would be appreciated. |

BQQ are the quarterly LEAPS that have been converted to regular options.
Prices are essentially the same as the DAW contracts for Jun Sep and Dec. I
don't know why the Marches have different quotes.

This may expose me as a total newbie but is there a dividend amount in
the price? |

DIA have 2 expirations:

End of March - Q1
so the cheaper is the 9 day expiration

Thanks for both of your help. I knew options normally expire on the
3rd Friday, I didn't realize the LEAPS didn't as well since I've never
traded in those. |

DIA have this new thing called (end of) Quarter Expiration or
something like that. Not LEAPS. The Quarter Expirations expire at
the end of a quarter. So one Mar DIA is a 3rd Sat. (9days) and the
other Mar is end of Q so 23 days. That's it approximately. Try the
CBOE or the OCC for the skinny.
