'''''Cricket: <2nd Dellhead Dinner> I learned so much at the recent San Francisco dinner, that I am wanting to join all of you, at your dinner the night of the third. Would you please p.m. me; is this downtown? Can I easily take a shuttle from the airport? '''''And are there any traders up there (e.g. lurker/traders), who would like to talk margin trading (separately?) with me, the afternoon before the dinner? Cricket, if you have heard of any traders up there, I will p.m. them about my interest in meeting with them, if you p.m. me their thread names. I am especially interested in talking about which firms execute trades with tight limits very well (my feeling is the particular broker can make a big difference.) ''''' Presently, I am guessing that it pays to be with a large non full service firm like Schwab---recently I had four good executions on 311 very thinly traded --very deep in the money ---calls. (I am still interested in the use of some margin under certain conditions, but now with hedging in place----especially during stormy trading times.) (I just came from Austin, where I interviewed two separate full service brokers, and felt a real conflict, in the way they think about their business.) '''''Anyway, I have never been to Seattle. So I get to see something of Seattle, and talk about the stock. I may even come in the evening before. ''''' We had such a great time--I think our "dinner" lasted about five hours (and we were just getting warmed up...) And some of the things which came up, would never have come out very easily on the thread.....imo...
