Re: I just checked out Seibert. It's $34 plus number of contracts. I see there are lots of discount broker for stocks like $7.95 per trade. Waterhouse is $12 for up to 5000 shares (market ot limit order). There are no such cheap lunch for options. I think Waterhouse is $27 plus certain amount per contract. Ken and Tim, Message 13462959 I think commisions are irrelevant. Say you save $5 per trade by going with one broker over another, to make up for a few good fills (see above) you would have to make 125 trades. An 1/8th of a point on 1000 shares is $125. I think it's far more important to have a broker that gives you good fills. Also, if you don't trade that often, customer service is important. chic

Mydiscountbroker.com has cheap (but not free) lunch on options. $12 plus $.5, 1 or 2 per contract depending on option price. I like em. 'zyme
