To Thread: Poet is going away for a week, and I just fedexed my form to WS Access, meaning that I will do little trading in the next 2 weeks. I still have my KEOGH at Fidelity, but... There were 2 more problems I experienced w/ Fido today. First, a web trade didn't go through or get recorded and I had to call. Second, in attempting to buy some ITM SNDK calls, Fidelity did not "recognize" the option symbol. When I called up, the trader himself could not get the symbol either, and got angry with me for getting angry about the situation. I called a 3rd time and the trader said he would get it for me even tho he couldn't access the symbol. The bid and ask sat at 51 1/2 (my order did too) for fifteen minutes, and I wasn't filled until the bid and ask moved slightly down. So I may take a bit of a break from the market myself. I just exercised my March 55s on JDSU.
