But Unq, I don't use margin. So therefore the leaps puts are: I get premiums that expire worthless, and during the time the put is active, I don't have that margin collateral available.

You are suggesting, use that collateral and buy leaps calls on margin?

Maybe somebody can convince me to buy on margin but I've seen it devastate portfolios and am too scared to do it
