My understanding is that tax qualified accounts (IRA, Keogh) cannot borrow money (margin), but are not absolutely prevented from options activity.

However, I suspect that many qualified account trustees will take a dim view. I.e., supposed to be investment accounts, not supposed to be speculative, and I think that is in the enabling legislation somewhere.

It can however be interpreted differently, and I've never heard of any broker getting hauled up for allowing option trading. I have also head of more and more allowing. No doubt the one as a result of the other.
