Premiums higher for lower priced stocks??

[freebird54]

For example STO premiums much higher than premiums for stocks priced much higher

Does anyone know where we can get a list of the premium/price of share or a volatility list?

Or a list of say the 10 consistently most traded options so I can work it out?

Nothing to do with price of underlying and everything to do with volatility. However, as a sweeping and gross generalization, lower priced stocks tend to be more volatile.
