they're just like stocks, you have a bid and ask and you can also by call and puts on them, in my opinion, the only thing that is different about them is that they trade for one month, then expire, and they trade pretty much 24 hours a day, six days a week (no Saturdays) with a 45 minute break between 5:15 pm and 6:00 pm.
