David, I just meant that if I called the stock at 70 I would have to come up with too much money to hold it outright. Had it been marginable, I probably would have called the shares and held until the following tues or weds since earnings are on Tuesday. So say regular margin requirements if I had 60 calls then I would need 1/3 of 420K or about 140K to do that, I don't like to carry that much margin but when you are a few days away from earnings, sheesh.
