Volty,

What percentage of margin debt would you go into to partake in the 50% CC strategy. Example: If I have a 500k account, do I use margin to take it up to 1 million and thus have more shares to buy and covered calls to write? Or do I just stick to something like 500 or 750k? The reason I ask is that as you know, excessive margin interest expense eats the CC premiums received to a point. Sorry if you've gone down this path already once (or twice, or one hundred times) :)

TIA,

Vic
