You already capture options pricing in the Financials --> Options section under individual tickers. You need to allow users to create an options portfolio. BarChart does it, but you could do a far better job. It would need to be refreshable too -- updating throughout the day as equity quotes do. This should be a VERY high priority, as most investors play both options and commons.
Along the same line regarding Options, it would benefit Seeking Alpha members greatly (especially premium members as now that is the only way to get access to the many benefits of your site) to have an Options section/forum. Many investors utilize options and having a section for authors that specialize in this area along with the comments from members would be greatly valuable. Currently I use Reddit and their Thetagang and Option subreddit threads but this would be a very popular offering on Seeking Alpha I would think.
thanks
August 2022, still waiting to be able to add options to my SA portfoilio...
September 2022. Seeking update on adding Options to Portfolio.
I was hesitant about taking a Premium membership with Seeking Alpha because I was not able to add and track options to your portfolio. However, I became a member anyway. So please update your paying members on the status of adding and tracking Options in our portfolio.
Thanks for the suggestion, i'll relay it to our product team.

I'm a new member with an annual subscription and a lack of options tracking would be enough to make me avoid renewing. Given the way the market is right now, options make up more than 50% of my plays, right now and I'd like to not use two or three different sites just to track everything. In my view, this is a P1 request for enhancement.
I just signed up for 2 years, and tried to add my options positions to a portfolio. Ha no way. now I have to use Yahoo and SA.
I’m not keeping my SA subscription if this isn’t implemented. A 3 year old request is still under review while they revamp the whole website and make other “improvements”. I guess because this change wouldn’t get SA more money like their new Basic Investing Groups will, it’s not something they care about
Thanks for the suggestion, i'll relay it to our product team.
