Unlikely that the OEX options would be listed on the ISE anytime soon since they are licensed by Standard and Poors.

Topic 306 - Penalty for Underpayment of Estimated Tax The United States income tax is a pay–as–you–go tax, which means that tax must be paid as you earn or receive your income during the year. There are two ways to pay as you go. One is through tax withholding and the other is through...

I believe that (assuming that I still have some brain cells left from business school): As long as you pay 110% of your previous year's tax obligation, the IRS cannot penalize you.

Was the order an option? I had that happen one time for a GTC option order routed to the CBOE.

Stock prices tend to gravitiate to a near strike price with a lot of open interest. Forx example, XYZ stock trading at 30 with lots of open interest at the 30 level. It happens because most market makers/specialist are trading delta neutral. Thus, speculators who are long 30 calls are...

The Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX) has implemented a six-month pilot program that provides off-floor Broker-Dealer ("BD") access to the PHLX AUTOM System on the options floor. This new initiative permits member firms to route BD orders over AUTOM for delivery directly to the specialist's...

Prior to the ISE, broker dealer and away market maker orders had to be executed through a broker (the exchanges did not allow them to use the electronic system). I believe that this is still the case on the AMEX and CBOE (though somebody can correct this if necessary). The P-Coast and the...

If you are broker dealer or off-floor market maker then of course you are going to be screwed by all exchanges since they will only trade with you if it makes sense for them to). If you are trading an option that is locked, cross, or in fast market mode, anybody (including customers) may get...

An upstairs trading firm such as Goldman or whatever finds a buyer and a seller for a block of stock. The brokerage firm has his floor broker (or a two dollar broker) check the stock on the floor (i.e., are there market buyers or sellers on the floor, etc.). This is done to find the "right"...

You figure that Schwab customers (and probably Fidelity) are probably a good source of "dumb" order flow that all options market makers love. "Dumb" because they pay higher commissions compared to customers who use IB or Datek or Ameritrade, etc. Just a speculation, but I would figure that...
