>I'm convinced when the options boyz get screwed, they aren't going >to make it easy for you to cover I experienced this first hand in march- my brokerage tried to close out my options portfolio because I had incurred 7 digit losses. It's not that I didnt have enough equity, but that they "didn't want their customers to lose money." (i kid you not) I had to threaten to sue them to keep them from liquidating my account, with 2 weeks left to go until op.ex. friday. Those puts made me more money than i've ever made in my lifetime. They knew the gig was up, and didnt want to pay. Guess its par for the course when brokerages have trading desks that trade against their customers' accounts.
