I really appreciate your explaining how those complex
options things work. I've never quite grasped that before.
Now I do.

I don't want to bet that SUNW is going to follow some
particular curve to x2. I also want to have the fewest
opportunities to make managerial mistakes along the way. I
want to be able to take my baritone for a
month long walk in the wilderness and not have to worry
about 'triple witching' and whatnot.

I think SUNW *might be x2 by the end of Jan. I believe
strongly, in any case, that it will be x2 by the end of
July. That's what I want to bet on. I don't want some
anomaly in March, or something, queer the whole thing.

I'm not particularly looking for protection as much as I am
simplicity. Lets say, buying SUNW on margin is the most
simple 'play'. What would the *next to the most simple play
using options (calls)?
