engineer -

I agree with what you say with the exception of the LEAPS comment. LEAPS are not naked options. If you by a LEAP, the only difference from buying a normal call is time. If I buy a Call or LEAP, I simply am forced to sell it if I do not have cash in my account to exercise with at expiration.

This week I bought Gemstar Aug 60 calls in my IRA. If I do not have cash to exercise them in August, I will be forced to sell them.
