<<I think the answer is; if you have sufficient margin to support sold puts, you have sufficient margin to support the stock if it is put to you. >>

It's my understanding that the margin to sell the puts is only 25% of the strike price, plus in-the-money amount or minus out-of-the-money amount. With some minimum. At the time of the transaction.

Margin to support the purchase if assigned could be greater than that, no?
