ot to Stan In an earlier post you state: 'FYI, for what is is worth. I am a member of the executive staff of one of AMAT's biggest divisions, and I hold thousands of AMAT in Options, 401k and ESPP. Because of this, I will not contribute too much to the thread, "insider ya know".' Your posts don't seem to jibe. From your opener: 'You guys seam to know what your talking about...' forces me to revive the Wallace Stevens lines: Let be be finale of seem. The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream. RO

Were your Feb options Calls? It sounds like you were screwed. Check to see what the price was when they sold your position. If it traded at the price they said they sold it at when they said they sold it you are probably out of luck. Look on SI for a futures options thread and post your message there? perhaps they will understand what may have happened and what you can do about it. On the surface it sounds like they scammed you. How long had you dealt with them? If their web site is down for three days that doesn't sound good.
