>>I too have been looking at GTW as a good put play but was >>horrified at the lack of volume. I usually avoid posting my picks, as things I short frequently go up. I have to wait for them to come back down. >>Any input as to the normal speed of executions. I bought Sep 60s, execution through DB Direct was rapid. >>I usually do limit orders to keep the MMs honest <ggg>> That is for sure. I have gotten really burned with market orders on stocks (never tried it on options). One common experience is that market orders trade much more slowly than limit orders. One could see why that might be to the MMs advantage to hold on to the order.
