Scott: ------->I call my broker to sell my OEX calls and she puts me on hold for almost a full minute. By the time she got back the option was down a full 3/8 of a point. A minute on hold trading OEX or SPX options is a friggin' lifetime. I gotta get me a new broker. That is unforgiveable. Costs of trading got much higher by doing that. now you know how ol Farve feels in the pocket waiting for the DOG to get to him..........gggg Pat is using E F Man on the futures and I used to in the long ago and far away have an account with them...... The one I'm currently using on options , MFI , can get a market order done in under a minute "most" of the time....... and I"ve not found a web broker who is faster on options. for equities alone tho, web brokers will run circles around the phone brokers when trying to get between the bid/ask ....... maybe next year........ as in ..... the cry of the CowBoys.........ggggggg Regards ---- Nemer PS and I can NOT believe that I'm the only NHL fan on this thread..... I"ve not missed a single playoff game yet..... had to tape a few, but I've seen them all. the game beats the heck out of roundball watching, even tho I do watch some of that too........
