Are you sure ?
My available oppies are showing listed in my portfolio as a seperate line item under my real May holdings, my broker says all I need to do is instruct them to purchase them at exercise price and funds will come out off my account and the oppies will be purchased and converted to real shares .
There seems to be a few differing opinions here.
I will look into it more tomorrow., however I find it hard to believe these cannot be purchased electronically via your broker./ platform ....
Sure we will hear lots more on this..
