Porter and all I don't know how you can stand the pressure from Ballard!!!. My question is on "relatively" quieter stocks, I'd like to use BCE but you might have a conflict. I think banks might be about the same. I wonder why the options prices I can get on blue chips don't seem to go out in strikes much past the current price? For example if you wanted to do a bull put spread on Royal Bank, I don't see any 90 or 95puts, would they exist if broker called up? Or is the demand too weak for the specialist to fool around with higher strike prices? Thanks, Donn
