1. Not exactly sure what you are asking, but if you are talking about trading exchange-listed options then you can only trade options on stocks that have options listed on them. If a stock doesn't have options listed on it, then you cannot trade them.
2. Most stocks that are traded on a regulated exchange, can have option written against them When you check the price of the equity on either Yahoo Finance or MSN Money (http://finance.yahoo.com/ http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp) There are tabs that will have the related options Based on the wording of your question, before you invest in or trade any option contracts you should conder doing more studying so that you know what you are doing, how you are going to do it, and why you are doing it. Here's some website that will help http://www.schaeffer.com/ http://www.options-trading-advice.info/ http://www.optionseducation.org/
3. As of today there are 2,502 equities with options listed in the CBOE equity option symbol directory. http://www.cboe.com/TradTool/Symbols/SymbolEquity.aspx There are a few equities that have listed options that are not traded on the CBOE which are not included in that directory. If you are a big enough player you can trade FLEX and/or OTC options on any equity.
4. 237 shares are normally allowed to trade in OPTIONS. The long list is given below. 13IINFO 2ABALLO 3ABB 4ABBALS 5ACC 6ADLFIL 7AIAENG 8ALLBAN 9ALOTEX 10AMTAUT 11ANDBAN 12ANSPRO 13APTTRA 14ARVMIL 15ASHLEY 16AURPHA 17BAAUTO 18BAJAUT 19BAJHIN 20BALCHI 21BALIN 22BANBAR 23BANIND 24BATIND 25BEML 26BFLSOF 27BHAELE 28BHAFOR 29BHAPET 30BHATE 31BHEL 32BHUST 33BIOCON 34BIRCOR 35BOMDYE 36BOMRAY 37BONREF 38BRIENT 39BSES 40CAIIND 41CANBAN 42CENBAN 43CENTEX 44CESC 45CHAFER 46CIPLA 47CMC 48CNX100 49CNXBAN 50CNXIT 51CNXNIF 52COCREF 53COLPAL 54CORBAN 55CROGRE 56CUMIND 57DABIND 58DCB 59DECAVI 60DENBAN 61DIVLAB 62DLFLIM 63DRREDD 64EDECAP 65EDUSOL 66ESCORT 67ESSOIL 68EVEKAN 69FEDBAN 70FINTEC 71GAIL 72GATDIS 73GESCOR 74GESHIP 75GITGEM 76GLAIND 77GLOBRO 78GLOTEL 79GMRINF 80GNFC 81GRASIM 82GREOFF 83GUJALK 84GUJAMB 85HAVIND 86HCLTEC 87HDFBAN 88HDFC 89HDIL 90HERDRU 91HERHON 92HINCON 93HINDAL 94HINFC 95HINLEV 96HINOIL 97HINPET 98HINZIN 99HOTLEE 100HTMGLO 101HUGTEL 102ICIBAN 103IDBI 104IDECEL 105IDFC 106IFCI 107IFLEX 108INDBA 109INDCEM 110INDHOT 111INDIBA 112INDINF 113INDOIL 114INDOVE 115INDRAY 116INFEDG 117INFTEC 118IPCL 119IRBINF 120ISPIND 121ITC 122IVRINF 123IVRPRI 124JAIASS 125JAIHYD 126JAMKAS 127JETAIR 128JINSP 129JINSTA 130JINVIJ 131KARBAN 132KESIND 133KOTMAH 134KPISYS 135LAKMAC 136LANINF 137LARTOU 138LICHF 139LUPIN 140MADREF 141MAHMAH 142MAHSEA 143MARUTI 144MCDOWE 145MICO 146MINIFT 147MORGOK 148MOSBAE 149MRPL 150MTNL 151NAGCON 152NAGFER 153NATALU 154NDTV 155NETW18 156NEYLIG 157NICPIR 158NIFMID 159NIFTY 160NIIT 161NIITEC 162NTPC 163NUCSOF 164OMALIM 165ONGC 166ORCCHE 167ORIBAN 168OSWCHE 169PANRET 170PARDE 171PATCOM 172PATEN 173PETLNG 174POLSOF 175POWFIN 176POWGRI 177PRAIN 178PUNBAN 179PUNLLO 180PURPRO 181RAJEXP 182RANLAB 183REDIND 184RELCAP 185RELCOM 186RELIND 187RELNAT 188RELPET 189RELPOW 190RENSUG 191ROLIND 192RURELE 193SAIL 194SASCOM 195SATCOM 196SAWPIP 197SCI 198SESGOA 199SHRCEM 200SIEMEN 201SKUMAR 202SOBDEV 203SRF 204STABAN 205STEIND 206STEOPT 207STETEA 208STRARC 209SUNPHA 210SUNTV 211SUZENE 212SYNBN 213TATCHE 214TATPOW 215TATTEA 216TCS 217TECMAH 218TELCO 219TISCO 220TITIND 221TRIENG 222TULITS 223TVSSUZ 224ULTCEM 225UNIBAN 226UNIP 227UNITEC 228UTIBAN 229VIDSAN 230VIJBAN 231VOLTAS 232WELGUJ 233WIPRO 234WIRWIR 235WOCKHA 236YESBAN 237ZEETEL
