Jerry: My main man. How ARE you in these crazy markets? I sat and watched Friday and yesterday. Today, I got some INTC calls that have doubled. Trouble is, I bought them for 3/16, they closed at 3/8. Too bad I didn't buy 1000 contracts <vbg> Stay loose and nimble.

Thanks Jerry!-I really appreciate your concern.-The Schwab saga is getting even worse as they called this morning to tell me that a market order for 50 contracts of VRTS I placed at 8:30 yesterday morni ng was never filled. I had tried to change the order 20 minuted later to 40 contracts because I was not getting any confirmation.They said that due to unusual market conditions they handeled it by hand and cancelled it when I tried to change it.-Later the same day I was told by a schwabbroker that he had called the exchange and they confirmed they got the order but could not tell us a price yet.By this time it was up from $3 to $4.50 and I told him to sell it and to buy Intc calls as I just heard they announced a share buy back. He could not do it based on my money tied up in the VRTS calls and we could not sell even at market prices...Those INTC calls doubled in 10 minutes and between the 2 I lost close to 30k in unexecuted orders.-They had some supervisor lady review the situation and she just called and told me according to page 22 of your account agreement we are not responsible!
