Edamo, I think this is a big analytical mistake:

.but have no outstanding margin debt...major difference!!!!

In internal financial analysis it is customary to view an investment in plant or equipment as if it were a cash transaction, because to do otherwise would confuse the financing decision with the operating decision. Only after the investment decision is made do I deal with the issue of financing. In my opinion, that approach should be applied here as well. So for an apples and apples comparison you should assume a cash secured put vs. a cash purchase of the stock. Otherwise you begin to fool yourself with the effect of leverage.

I have no doubt that your approach has been wildly successful. After all, you have been investing in one of the greatest companies of the 20th century in probably the greatest market in history. That describes the reward, but not the risk.

TTFN,
CTC
