What determines "how far out" an option is available for a given stock?
 
For example, why does one stock have options available in June of 2010, but another stock only has options available until June 2009?
 
thanks for any input...

Demand.  The more liquid the stock the more strikes and months will be available to trade.  Anything over 9 months is a leap.  Leaps are not available on all stocks.  The less liquid the less options.
 
And IMO.  Don't trade leaps!
