I finally received my Pixar stock certificate, after 10 requests and 6 months waiting from Schwab. I guess they don't get very many requests for certificates, so that's why they screwed up my order so many times. Now I need to scan it and get it up on the web so you can see it. I was actually a bit dissappointed in it. The top 3/4 is all business, but the bottom has pictures of Woody, Tin Toy, Luxo Jr., Knick Knack, and Buzz Lightyear.
Regarding options quotes, why don't you try the site below? I think they are delayed 15-20 minutes, but its better than nothing. I'm getting killed with my Pixar calls. The only money I've made is when I sold some last July, and then some in November on the Friday after the movie came out. I have a bunch of April's expiring in 2 weeks which look like a total loss.

RE-POST FROM YAHOO:
The report from Pixar's 10K is not new. At first I thought that some of it was, because I had
never heard a reference from Pixar about the animation market becoming "saturated", but
then I looked at Pixar's 10K from last November. The wording looks identical to what was
published as "news" yesterday.
In fact, it looks like good news for Pixar if that is the extent of their worries. They were
worried in November about ABL going into a saturated market, but it has still exceeded
expectations. Pixar also stated that ABL would "definitely be profitable" if the the domestic
box office achieved $100M-$125M. Expect Toy Story 2, with less competition, to do even
better.

From Pixar 10K, November 9, 1998:
Due to the large number of expected releases in late 1998 and over the next two years, it is
possible that the market for animated films will become saturated before Pixar can release A
Bug's Life and other feature films, which could result in failure of such films to achieve
commercial success.
Through November 1, 1998, Antz had achieved approximately $68 million in domestic box
office revenues and is still showing in theaters. Paramount Pictures' ("Paramount") Rugrats,
The Movie and DreamWorks' Prince of Egypt are animated feature films which will be
released around the same time as A Bug's Life as will other family films such as Universal City
Studios' ("Universal") Babe Pig in the City, which is also scheduled for release on November
25, 1998. As a result of these and other factors, A Bug's Life and related products may not
generate significant revenue and operating results for Pixar, even if A Bug's Life is critically
acclaimed and achieves substantial, but not extraordinary, box office success.
