Eddie... Enough, enough.... I follow your posts, but you appear to be in a battle that's wasting your time (and mine). Get back to the revealing logic that I'm so in awe of. I've learned a great deal from you in the past.... especially the short LEAP PUT, long stock, short the CALL (without margin) scheme. That is a classic and I've done well with it. In fact, my short PUTs strategy netted over 30K in premiums for January. Your advice has been a real help. Thanks for all the clear messages founded on your solid experience. Tom

Sorry if you didn't understand that I was dealing in ten contract lots. I can understand the misunderstanding from your 100 shares at a time perspective. I don't agree with your 20% requirement. My understanding is that is is 1/3rd the strike, or 33%. Nevertheless, in all of your nah-nee-nah-nee-nah-nah response, you still didn't show how the purchased call costs more to margin than the written call. As you may recall, this was the whole point of the posts leading up to your last one. I guess you admit being wrong by not answering it. Understood. Nor did you ever show any proof of that fanciful statement that you made earlier claiming that I was a seller of puts on CSCO today. As with every point you're weak on, you simply gloss over it. Or maybe that's senility kicking in... As for portfolio return my math, rest assured that it is correct. Breath deeply, and relax. You can't always be number one. BTW, did you have any pearls of wisdom about DELL? LoF
