Morgan--Makes sense, assuming the stock doesn't drop back causing you a margin call & sale resulting in paying ordinary tax rates on the gain.

If I exercise now, and the stock goes to $150, I have an additional $600,000 in margin borrowing power. If I don't exercise, and the stock goes to $150, the options have no margin borrowing power.

Morgan,

If you wait till expiration to exercise, and the stock goes to $150, you will need to sell less shares to cover the ~ $1.2 M, leaving you with the additional ~ $.6 M in equity you seek.

I would hold the options until expiration to forgo interim margin call risk.
