Why care? If you are into options trading, whether for daytrading, hedging, theta, vega, wheeling, whatever, this might appeal to you!
I started by looking for liquid options chains and finding little good. Then I stumbled upon this. Getting quotes is half the battle, especially in low liquidity environments.
As a side note, I'm aware that the N225 and N225M index options are liquid. I was specifically looking for stocks, though.
