Options Dreyfus had a message that my order would be filled today or at the opening tomorrow (however it did get filled) so I tried to cancel but apparently was too late. Screen was probably running late is all I can figure. Gordon

eb, I think E*Trade is correct, the AMZN option quotes are all screwed up. And for good reason - have you taken a look at the full option chain? Its longer than the SPoo contracts! I'm afraid to down load it from the CBOE 'cause my 'puter will lock for 15 minutes, or longer. I've had to do a re-boot a few times. Anyway, the way the traders work through the chain to set and update prices on such a long chain in such a volatile stock means most of the quotes are out of date. Makes it tough to trade them for us small fry. Regards, IS
