I sold a Nov put contract, way out of money, shouldn't it expire worthless by now? I just logged in my TD account and it still worth 0.35. WTH is going on??
Sorry for digging out such an old thread. While doing my brokerage research, I came across this ripoff report about optionsxpress:

Say you want to buy a stock at $10 (current price quote), it may very well be that the broker can get the stock at $10 or lower then sell it to you at $10.10 or higher. The broker rips you off. You thought it was market fluctuate. This is how they make money other than commission.
