Sure, you could that if you had too. It does require a great deal more capital to make it happen. If it does it shouldn't. If you can buy $10000 worth of stock with $5000 (buying on margin) you should be able to write options at strike prices that force you to pay for $10k worth of stock with at most $5k of cash as a reserve. You should be able to include the premium towards that cash and it shouldn't be difficult to get the rights to do this. After all you could put in a GTC limit order to buy $10k of that stock at that price, without even recieveing the premium. Tim
