Jozef: Re: "I broke my rule today and bought April 60 calls, 2 weeks before expiration, out of money, with huge premium. I guess if they expire worthless, I fully deserve the consequences." Comment: Looks like you could be in the money before the day runs its course...In any event, AMD'll be $70 (minimum) by expiry date of April 20!

Joe, I am pissed with execution as well. Put a MARKET order for NTAP when it was below $50 It FILLED 30 minutes later for $60 5/16. I ususally never enter market orders. But was hoping to get in quick. I am even more pissed at shwab than i was. regards, Kash

Joe, Picked up some of those Apr 60 calls myself. Already up a couple :^) What do you think. Pull the trigger and make it a tidy day trade or hold for another day like today and a definite ulcer?

Jozef, I use Dreyfus, see Message 13223486 I did about 10 trades today. On one, I thought I got ripped off, in that I tried to sell at the bid and didn't get an execution. (It subsequently dropped and the next trade was 1/8 below my "offer.") But I got customer service with just a 5 minute hold and they said that many quotes were not being updated properly because of heavy volume. I believe him because that particular quote 5 by 5.25 was higher than it should have been. Dreyfus allows option orders online, but uncovered orders to "open" must be placed through a broker with a $25 rather than $18 commision. Petz
