Paul, I guess we are all interested in the same topic: margin costs on naked puts. I have been trying to get a straight answer as to costs out of my broker (VG Brokerage Services) and so far have the following. Margined amount is greatest of the 4 methods: Method A - $2,000 per contract Method B - Premium, plus 15% of market value Method C - Premium, plus 30% of market value, minus out of money Method D - Minimum of $10,000 After all this I am told that "certain" LEAP positions may have additional requirements.I am still scratching my head and calculating. I would be interested in seeing the risks of naked puts with the real example you mentioned. dave colby
