Its late but I will show you then I'm going to bed.

Sell 1000 shares at 28 equal 28k

If you are 50% margined means you get 14K to cash.

14k/600 per contract = 23 contracts or 2300 shares that you control.

Assuming you buy Jan 2000 35 call at 6 per contract or 600 per.

At 53 the contract is worth $18 per. 18x2300 is 41400.

You invested 14K to get 41400 or 295%.

If you left your margin acount in tact and sold at 53 you would have 53k on the same 14K investment. 53k / 14K is 378%. You loose 12 K on the deal.

Thats my point.

It works great if you are not in margin but if on margin you better run the #'s!!!!
