G. Man--

Follow me on this one..

Buy 1000 RMBS @100 on 60% margin.
Cash needed = $60K margin debt = $40K
margin cost for 2 1/4 yrs. = $8K

Sell 10 RMBS JAN 2002 100 LEAPS @50
Cash received = $50K

Take that $50K out of account so actual cash outlay is $10K.

By JAN 2002 stock is at 100 or above.. stock is called away
you receive $100K for sale of 1000 RMBS, pay broker $40K plus $8K interest for total proceeds of $52K. So.....

$10K ------> $52K in 2 1/4 yrs.

Just a bit more than your example of 50%/yr. if done with all cash. Breakeven is RMBS at $58/share in JAN 2002.

Do this transaction at 4 or 5 different brokers and you're talking some serious coin for your money with the stock going nowhere.

Think it'll work?
