Jim, FYI I just checked my acct at Waterhouse. I got filled at 2-7/8(20/20/10, they divided it up again). I used to think they do that to charge me more $ but when I called them a few weeks ago they explained that's not the case. There is no "all or none" button for options either. EGRP does the same thing. I used to think that's because some of their customers are selling/buying covered options so I am buying/selling from their customers but EGRP said that's not the case. I never bothered asking from Waterhouse. Have you experienced something similar? BTW, for my $25K(after $5k profit today) paper-trade money I am leaning toward putting it all into an out-of-money LU call position. July 85 is now 1-3/16. It traded as high as 2-3/8 when the stock was at 83 this morning. So, if LU dips further to 78-79 range, I should be able to pick up 250 contracts at $1. When LU goes to 90 in a couple of weeks(wishful thinking!!!), those calls should worth at least $5. No fear = think big. I do either something with LU or YHOO & AMZN. I love to catch YHOO and AMZN during a 10-point move. Both have hit my targets of 150 and 100 so I have no idea where they are going from here. Analysts have the face to still recommend these stocks! We'll see. Clint
