Tekboy don't you ever have to sleep? your on the thread all day and still posting at 3:58AM.
I have had similar experiences with schwab. i now always enter my option trades as a limit order at the ask price or slightly below.
works well most of the time. also do not go by the multiple option quote pages, always click on the specific option symbol you want and get a single option quote, 9 out of 10 times its different and is the more accurate one.

I buy the common on margin at the same time so i am participating in the runup of both the common and the options. this has really juiced up the returns on my portfolio. if i wait, i will have to pay much higher price for the common. or are you saying to excersise the leap.
if so, i still would have only gained on the leap. with my way i gain on two vehicals at the sametime and feel like i get the common for free since i bought them with the house's money! i'm sure this is a two edged sword and would work equally as bad in a down market. but again thats why i only consider options on gorillas! if you are still up and reading this, press the little power button on your monitor and go to sleep your gonna need your rest if today is anything like yesterday!

good night and good morning to everybody else.
