I do all my options trading at Dreyfus, since ETrade wouldn't let me buy calls or puts. Their loss, as far as I'm concerned. My experience with Dreyfus has been great. Unlike ETrade they have a simple, fast interface. I only do the occasional option trade there so I don't know how they would be for frequent stock trading. But $15 per trade is nice. Options are as volatile as they are made out to be. I don't usually discuss numbers but you should know that I opened the account with $2K, ran it to $4K, saw it drop to $550 and now have it up to $8K. Couldn't afford to watch my main portfolio jump around like that (though the four-bagger gain would be nice!).
