DSG.... oh you know me so well.... the difference is mine expired due to their fault and I wanted restitution and it wasnt until I raised hell and talked to a VP that Friday that they told me exercising was an option for their screwup......they were trying to sneak something passed me I think because they were saying ...oops..too bad...you didnt get the position closed (BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULT) and now the put is worthless...... I can make a case if I have the knowledge to do it...but I was just a babe in the woods and believed them that I was going to be out my money I paid for the puts AND not going to get the profits I was due if the position had closed that Friday......School of Hard knocks on that one... different ballgame than his situation...but I remember how I felt over that weekend worried about if CCI was going to pop a load before I bought it to cover.....and having to switch out enough money to cover a margin on 400 shares of CCI....EVEN THOUGH I WAS IMMEDIATELY BUYING THE STOCK TO COVER......I still had to send them money...which they sent me back when I IMMEDIATELY closed my account...sheesh..that was a nightmare...
