Gary,

When you sell the security, you are not guaranteed to get that AMT credit in the year that you sell it. I have been contributing to AMT for 3 years now (despite selling specific blocks that AMT was based on) and have a nice reserve of taxes paid in the event I stop making money. It does make sense to take the loan out to pay the exercise price if you feel strongly that the stock will at least maintain its value and your loan % is less than the tax % difference.

Regards,

Brian
