lof...re: "hitting nails on the head" a position taken in the same stock or option at an identical price can be deemed speculative or conservative. solely dependent on your vantage point, psychology and the side of the trade you are on....

Hi Loffy I'd agree about ed's point about puts too. What's happening? Well JDSU is making its expected run. I closed out some of my March puts, 165s and 180s.

LoF & Edamo When a stock is put to you and it is marginable what are the financial requirements of your brokers. Let's assume a $100 strike price and 1 contract. 1. Can you take delivery on the stock using only your margin ability, assuming you are fully invested and there is no cash value available in your account? 2. What are the situations where you will be put a stock prior to the expiry date? Frequency? 3. Can you set a new position(repair) and use any of these proceeds to cover the cost of the stock, if cash not margin is required? I'm not going to stretch myself this thin but it is important to know the limits. Thanks Duncan
