Regarding Interactive brokers Janet brought home a few articles from Wall Street & Technology and The Investment Dealers' Digest,(both brokerage industry trade mags) and I wanted to pass on that these people are more than legit, conducting "about 5% of the world's total equity derivatives trades". It is a member of 36 exchanges, of which 12 can be accessed by small traders. Customers are primarily 250 institutions (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank are specifically listed). No retirement accounts. Also wanted to let the old timers know about another SI site concerning options Subject 12574 Some of the recent knowledgeable posters here also post there. Very interesting.

alanrs, ardethan, Thomas Tam, Andrew Dobson Thanks to all of you for a little "common sense". <g> I'm not going to propose a winner here because WT*DIK. The one thing I didn't seem to read much about was how the psychology of the buyers and sellers actually generate the prices that the Black-Scholes Model predicts. I guess I need to think these posts over a little more and see how everyone else ruminates on them. I'll bet we get a few more opinions over the weekend. Me? I'm headed over to "Salsa-Lido" tomorrow -- my time premium is decaying so I'm compelled to exercise for maximum returns. Thanks again to all, --dfl PS The Best of... looks to be DOA. :o(
