The last trade at 2 7/16 could be mine as that was my price limit and it got filled. I've looked at the Aprils too but we could be headed lower before higher. That's why I picked the July 30s instead of April. If there were calls further out, I would pick them instead. Unfortunately, July is as far out as it gets. I've had great success in 1999 with LEAPS on AOL and COMS and calls on DCLK, all bought at or near the very bottoms. I hope to repeat it with EGRP. (AOL and DCLK timings were excellent - or lucky, though I bailed out too early on COMS at 40s). Despite its service problems, I believe EGRP is doing a great business of getting accounts and assets, efficiently. The OLB business itself is expanding at the expense of traditional brokerages in an environment where the overall market is also growing. There is downside risk of course, but should be limited at this stage. (If we could only get over with these Fed tightenings once and for all.)
