I trade a small firm out of Texas. That has happened to me when ATT did a 3:2, CSCO did a 3:2 and WCOM did a 3:2. My options ended up representing 150 shares. I don't think it is Fidelity. I think it is the CBOE.

>> Bought them with at a $80 strike...after two splits they should have turned to $10 strikes. They said no, they are still $80 strikes, but you now have 800 shares per LEAP. Didn't they change the designator and credit you with 8X the number of contracts after the splits? And they changed the designator again after they decayed from LEAPS to options, didn't they? Sounds like you should ask for a supervisor, Rick. uf
