Rich: (disney) <<<<I see ads for beepers services which give timely(?) updates on splits via alpha pagers. What is your opinion on these services?>>> I am not in a position to use one, so hope other thread members will comment on them , but they sound great >>>> Also: Missing out on DIS. Was that info timing or trade delay or market moving too fast?>>> I tried to buy a May 120 call which pre-opening was less than 2$ and put a limit on it of about $4 so it did not fill as that call went up by 4 7/8 and stayed at around 6 5/8 all day. So I guessed wrong and didn't catch one as it opened too high. I don't chase them unless real sure I want one in which case I will place a market order. In this case I call the broker at 9:15, place an order, go do other work, and hope(ggg) If there is overnight news on a popular stock (like DIS), it will often open way up so not much chance get it cheap, but I sometimes try(:O) Regards Sig
