   Dear Ekaterina

   To answer your question about the place to find options, my first suggestion would be: Wall Street Journal or
   http://europe.wsj.com/home-page .

   And also on:

   http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/marketsdata_europe.html

   There you can find the US version as well

   Kind regards,

   Jan Jansen

   PS See you next week in Chelyabinsk
