Hi Paul,
Post the risks of puts for sure. I'll ask Fidelity how they show the margin requirements, I didnt ask them. If I understand their answer I'll let you know.

To everyone:
I finally assembled all taxable trades for last year (havent yet assembled the untax ones in the IRA). Almost a waste of time doing all of them: 57 trades (and I have a full time job) with only 56% profitable and 1% same. Made $30,000 proft, but paid $8500 in margin interest (of course all of that cant be attributed to the trading because most of the margin is to allow me to hold a lot more DELL long than I could otherwise) . Will have to pay taxes on the remaining $18,500 to 30-40%. Was it worth it? I dont know, learning experience I guess. A lot of the trades were of good stocks that I would have been better off just holding.
Best wishes for this week for all of us (but DELL has to stay at 44 15/16 so I dont get nervous about my calls.)
