There is no option filings since June.
Are there no Option fillings since June?
Very good extra info here at Gurufocus in this new options section.

I agree with others, that it would be great if the expiration date and price were here (when the info. is supplied in the filings). The continuing improvement of the site makes me come here again and again, for ownership information. I hope to see continued improvements here, and i could just skip looking up SEC filings altogether.

Well done.
I also believe the Guru/option list would have greater value if the list included information on who sold Puts and at what Strike Price.

It would be of even greater value to see a list of INSIDERS who sold PUTS of their company and the Strike Price
Those are all valid questions, Rpomykala. However, we do not have the information other than we show here.
I'm confused. When you list Option Holdings. I assume you mean these are Puts & Calls Contracts that are owned. If that is the intention, there should also be a list of the other side of the Contracts; that is, a list of the holders of the sellers of the Puts & Calls contracts, as they have meaning and are just as important.
Not to get too confusing, it also makes a difference it what Date the options expire as for them to have meaning.
Good luck to GuruFocus in supplying useful information.
Only very occassionally the strike prices and the expiration dates are available. These are number of shares. The number of contracts should be divided by 100.
these are useful the way they are! thankyou. there will always be room for improvements, but this is a great addition.
Many Thanks for adding option data Gurufocus - I always worried that some Gurus had option positions that we did not see, going against their stock positions.

Case in point: It looks like Pabrai has been both buying the stock and the put options on WCG WellCare Health Plans Inc.

I am very grateful for the data, but as stokdocx99 said it would be more useful with strike prices and expiration dates so we can see how positive Bruce is on PFE or SHLD,
How about information on short sales of option contracts?
[Like Buffett's BNI puts from last month].
To have any value we'd need to know:

1) Are these shares or number of option contracts?
2) What strike prices and expiration dates are involved?
