OX, Very weird stuff. I have seen OTM call options higher on higher strikes than lower strikes and a variety of other strange behavior. It appears that the IV on many issues has expanded dramatically and the exchanges are having trouble pricing. Expect huge time premium erosion on Monday and Tuesday since Thursday rather that Friday is expiration this week. Regards, Dave

online adv option execution at Schwab... anyone have any good or bad things to say about Schwab's new online advanced option orders? in particular, doing spread orders online. I'm going to move some of my option trading to schwab (naked options and spreads). I tested out the webpage a little bit (once it couldn't find a valid option ticker for one of the legs I gave, but could have been a temporary glitch). I'd be willing to pay the extra commissions (and put up w/ their extra collateral reqt for naked options) if the executions are fair and reasonably fast. thanks for any views you have on executions, etc... positive or negative.
