watch for all those bearish option bets to lose money
tomorrow is triple witch
stock index options, futures options, and cannot remember 3rd

imagine owning a Dow option put with 10,500 last week
now they might expire worthless

got a real question, need help in understanding
want to raise some cash, since overspent last couple days
I just love a firesale
doubled up on CREE at 140 neighborhood, worked well with 150 close
but in process took on a substantial Fedcall
my account is being transferred, somewhat in dark on margin buypower

thinking of selling some Jan2001 LEAP puts
for QCOM at strike price 175-185
for CREE at strike price 200-220

they are rich as hell with intrinsic value and premium
could someone help me to understand:

- what deposit must I put up?
- does deposit increase when shorted Puts are deepinmoney?
- does it matter that I hold stock for each?

I would go over to Options G&K thread, but not after my feminist confrontations lately
I dont like certain aspects of that thread (all I will say)

much appreciated
/ Jim
