David, I would be interested in your comments on Yamner after you have some experience with them. They sound like the kind of firm that may fit my style of trading from what I have read about them here on SI. Call/put ratio: I used to follow this closely but I think that all the hedging and arbitrage have skewed the numbers. Example: have noticed a lot of conversions and reversals for size being done lately on several stocks that I follow closely. This spike in volume on stock and options could give the false impression of interest in stock. Butterfly spreads: haven't done any in a long time but always looking for an opportunity. Always entered entire spread with a limit, never turned vertical spread into butterfly. A rule that I made as a result of bad experiences is to never turn an options order into a more complicated strategy then originally intended. BTW 735's now trading. Good Luck Ken
