look I am with Comsec for my share trading, but the stuff you have to go through to open an options account is massive, they seem to want to know how much my old underpants are worth as well as everything else I own.
Did you find e Trade any less intrusive?""
you can buy "listed tradeable options" through Commsec without any hassles.
i bought some yesterday (and have done for years) just using my normal account.
it's no different to buying a normal ordinary share.
just go too main page (market depth) type in the code, click "get a quote" ie: BRDOA. you'll get a depth page up which has buyers / sellers.
""Buy | Sell | Add to Watchlist | Research | Chart | Course of Sales""
you'll see the above just below the main quote bar, click on buy and away you go.
as a poster mentioned before make sure you DYOR into buying any share be it ORDINARY OR OPTIONS.
