Hi Bob,

I had forgotten about B & J.  I checked into them several years ago and got
good recommendations from acquaintances.  I did not go with them because
their commissions are higher than Dreyfus and I did not need the type of
services they offer.

They will accept contingent orders and it appears from their web site you
can place them over the Internet.  You can also sell puts (with 100% cash
coverage) in an IRA, something most brokers will not allow.

Their site is www.stockoptions.com

                                                    Good luck and good
trading,

                                                            Ray Raffurty
