PAL WHAT are you thinking re: edamo .vs. lof? Selling puts or buying calls are not at all equivalent, its like Kiwi fruit .vs. apples. Buy call. NO MARGIN just cash. the cash outlay depends on the price of the OPTION which could be anywhere from 1/16 (out of money/short time/low volatility) to 50% or more of stock price. So the proposition is A priori absurd to compare margin requirements for selling puts and buying calls.
