If unsure, either stay in cash or play the options and leaps it's cheaper. Decimalization did hurt. I'd like to see a minimum of 10 cent ticks. Clearing has been a pet peeve of mine for years. If they can't trust the trade to clear then shut down the markets. I believe the real reason for these rules are for the firm to make you pay to play. Here are some stats from 1998 to 2001 provide by LPS5 to back up my belief: average percentage of revenue from commissions, agency& principle: 1998-50% 1999-45% 2000-40% 2001-30% From interest and various acc't service revenue: 1998-45% 1999-50% 2000-50% 2001-65% Kind of obvious isn't it?
