Hi, I'm noticing a massive drop off in the population of SPX options using the 0#SPX*.U chain RIC before Dec 2009. I see only ten or so instruments priced per day. Can you please explain why the normal option chain isn't populating here and also provide a solution so that I can obtain the option chains prior to that date? thanks.
