lof..."buying calls does not burden margin like selling puts does" didn't we(collectively) have this very same discussion on the dell thread a while back?.........yout statement wasn't valid then...and nothing has changed... calls are not marginable, so any buy reduces the cash/margin capacity....puts marginable at 20%....cash in from premiums increases capacity.... markets never move so fast as repair is not possible....far out expirations always worth more then closer in.... for the sake of the thread and for discussion, what has been your own personal experience and frequency of using repair strategies? if you are conversant in repairs you would grasp the point being made by paul. any fully leveraged account be in rife with short puts, long calls, or chunky style peanut butter would have a problem..........it's not what you are holding, it's the "fully leveraged" that is the culprit
