Hi Gang, Due to an oddity in my quite small inherited IRA I had some options on MAT and when I was closing the position I made a small profit, $225, but what was really odd was what they were going to charge per contract. Prior to today they listed the commission at $6.95 base plus $0.75/contract. Today they wanted to charge me $0.00 base and $1.50/contract. I got them to back off on that but the guy said it was supposed to change to the $1.50/contract on Wednesday.

If they do I may well look for a different place to put that portfolio since I sell puts and calls with about half of my funds in that portfolio. The other half is in 2 positions with 18.1% dividend and the other 9.6%.

Anybody got suggestions for a better place for small options trading?

Thanks,

Allen
