David, Market makers in equity options have been tough to deal with. Had to exercise and simultaneously sell the stock of an August(not July) stock option that was only 3 points in the money because the option had a negative 1/4 pt. premium on the bid. Tried a limit order at zero premium twice but they wouldn't bite. Saved $500 on 2K shares by exercising. Have looked into bearish spread strategies on the nets but the bid/asked spreads are criminal. Several firms are talking about starting alternate option exchanges similar to ECN's. I think that they would do very well. Regards. Ken
