Tito, The public disclaimer was nice but unnecessary. We are all adults and are responsible for whatever decisions are made. Period. Your "strategy" is interesting, and may deserve some looking into depending on an investor's 1) overall financial position, 2) tolerance for risk, and 3) understanding of the options process. Personally, (as I have expressed interest in your ideas) I am more comfortable with LEAPs than I am with margin - at least the downside protection is limited to the premium paid. In the event of something untoward, at least I won't have to sell the homestead. ;^) That said, I am still not at the point where I would pony up the $$ to get in the game - as I am still learning the LEAPs game. I encourage you to keep posting. Scott
