[RT] Strange options on USB

["Ray Raffurty" <r.raffurty@xxxxxxxx>]

While scanning for possible option trades I came 
upon the following list for U.S. Bancorp.  Note that there are two series, 
each with the same strike and expiration date, USB and USZ, but with 
considerably different bid and ask prices.  I suspect that the represent 
different numbers of shares, perhaps from a previous split.
 
Whare can I find out what USZ realy is?  I 
checked with my broker and he could not tell me (yes, I need a new 
broker).  Also checked the CBOE web site.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Good luck and good trading,
 
Ray Raffurty
