Carl,

Yes, those are good reasons I hadn't thought of. I am short at different strikes on a few equity options, so I am short quite a few options right now. Statistics catch up to you. This is the first time this has happened. I am just PO'ed it split my block of VECO at $30. Now, I'll lose it in 2 chunks, hence 2 commissions.

**OT**
BTW, did you complete that survey Schwab sent out. They gave $25 for doing it. It looks like they are exploring serveral different types of accounts to offer and finding what people like best. Some are a one time commission fee for the year and unlimited trading. Others add level II quotes, etc. It was a whole gammit of stuff. It was one of those surveys where it asked you the same question 100 different ways so they could really get a good feel for what will go over good. It seems to me they realize they may need to do some more to compete with these really low discount online houses.

PS: Do you think I have a valid complaint with a market order on a BB stock taking 6 minutes to execute? Cost me over $500.
