Dazzled - Can you help us rookies understand some margin requirements? In an earlier post you mentioned you had made the following: bought the March 670 calls, OEYCN, for 1 3/8 and sold the March 640 calls, OEYCH, for 8 5/8 for a net credit of 7 1/4. When you have a credit spread, do you still have a substantial margin requirement for your account, even though the spread is bringing funds into your account? Or is a typical margin requirement for an OEX credit spread fairly small? Thanks. Bob J.
