Akidron, <<<OT>>> Re: Mar32.5 You really got my interest and I learned from it. After a long wait, I finally got to the broker who serviced my purchase to clarify some of the details, since I wanted Mar32.5 instead of Mar30. To make a long story short, I'm eating this Mar30 since I initiated the error(reading off ANQCF instead of ANQCZ from the CBOE table). His explanation was this: a miscomm... he had a previous purchase of the same(by his record) so it became automatic from then on...the only change was the # of contracts. I could have complained and made some noise, but I rolled over since this guy has been really nice for the last 5 years I've had dealings with him...and it was ignorance that started the whole thing. Anyway...he said that Mar32.5 is available...he drew a blank about non-standard since it is a standard Co issue. My lesson...listen for the repeated confirmation by the agent/broker. Next lesson...the on-line order form (where I ordered my Feb30) would've been better since it matches symbol and strike price automatically and could 've prevented my slip up<<<faux pas>>>. Finally, check and recheck...and thank the ones who catches the mistake. THANK YOU, SF
