Hi E, Sorry, I was not exact, or as Judy would say, I was imprecise. I've been buying calls at 60ish and buying puts at 66-68ish. Sorry for the confusion.

BTW, I'm an ETrader as well. I wish I had more time....

kw.

Electric~You can defeat ETrade's usurious short margin requirements by Buying a lower strike put first, THEN Selling your puts. Creates a nice spread that also limits your downside.

Computer doesn't always recognize it though, so if speed is crucial, you need to talk to the human. They still give you on-line comm.

I'll send you margin reqs. if you want, but recco you save your eyesight.

Rick
