RE: Call Option Dell Jan. 2001 Strike Price 80

You're right. The Call symbol is ZDEAP. This is my recommendation for meeting a margin call by selling a covered call option, as opposed to selling Dell or investing more cash.

One caveat: at least one brokerage firm, i.e., Suretrade, considers short long term options to be the equivalent of margin debt when it calculates margin requirements. Brown & Co., among other brokerage firms, does not. Before doing this, an investor should check with the policies of his or her brokerage firm in this regard.
