Hi Jon,

The retail rates I quoted were emailed to me by one of their reps; it was a MSWord doc. From what I understand, these rates only apply if you want to enter a spread order via a live broker.

As I'm sure you know, if you turn a long call position into a spread, that is different than a spread order; probably why they charge their retail rates for spread orders--just my guess. I sure hope their system can figure out if you leg into a spread, that it is indeed a spread--but you never know <g>.

OT: Lack of definitive information is one of my few gripes with Preferred. I hate being told one thing by one rep then a different thing by another. Why can't they just publish everything out front.

BTW: It took me a couple of calls to figure out that the people that answer their phones aren't brokers. Fortunately I haven't yet had the need to talk to a live broker, but their "internet support" reps say they will transfer you at will. I almost didn't sign up with them cause the first few times I called w/ questions, I was put on hold so the rep could answer another call in the background--that made me nervous. I've never had any of my other online broker reps do that to me. Weird.
