Thanks, and congratulations! You've found a major bug in my option page parser! For your help, you've won a full year's free access to my stock and options pages! (Yeah, I know, big deal. Maybe I'll charge everyone else a fee to make your prize more valuable. :) The bug had to do with the option symbol starting with the same characters as the stock symbol. The parser thought it found another quote for the stock, then it got confused, then it went on to the next option quote. The weird thing with AMD is that there are two sets of Jan options, with different symbols: webservices.pcquote.com Does anyone know what the deal is with that? Mark, your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to figure out why my option page isn't calculating the volatility for lots of Nov calls. It's probably an impossible task for you, since you don't have my program, but it's worth a shot asking you. I never noticed the bug you found. Thanks again! Doug.
