Gary,

Reading your post and the others is making me feel I was very lucky today. I don't often feel this way, and have no explanation. My buys were also NASDAQ: AMES 300 @$17, AMES 300 @$17 1/8, OLOG 200 @$20 15/16, the ask price in every case. I did notice the bid/ask error message, and saw some evidence of the problem, but I had also been following delayed charts very carefully so I had a good idea where I stood.

I've been on the wrong side of the Datek unlucky charm far too often, and lost a lot of money because of it. I'll just count myself fortunate I was on the right side for a change.
