Oh I know it sounds greek or something, but it's just the "frequent trader" desk at Fidelity, so they're supposed to be smarter. I just called because on the web the bid and ask for the 01 200 qcom call was 44 to 61....huh? I called her and said, what's up, have you heard of a spread that's 16 points? Sure, she said. Rather insolent. Finally explained they were quoting the "best" i.e. highest and lowest of 3 exchanges. I really don't like them too much right now. They screwed up two moneyline transactions in a row--first time they never wired the $ into my checking account, and second time, they wired an extra 10K by mistake. Each time I had to find the errors and go through a hassle to correct. I remember you went somewhere and were pleased... Jill
