I see what you are saying, and I believe that it is true. That is at least partly why I always either place a limit order well in advance of the underlying security price move, or just buy at the ask, sell at the bid. In other words, I am in violation of Ferengi rule of acquistion #3 "Never pay more for an acquisition than you have to." as well as : #141 Only fools pay retail. But the market maker does have to buy my options when I offer them at the bid, so I have a guaranteed trade. I don't have a TV, so I only get to watch these shows when I'm on business out of town or visiting relatives. But I bought the Ferengi Legends book, and it has better stock market advice than a lot of other books I've bought over the years. -- Carl
