[RT] Options Accoun Margin Anomaly

Dear Ira,

Very interesting...I get daily statements to keep abreast and it is 
on no reports. I have spoken to multiple experienced brokers and 
could not get even close to the quality of answers I received on this 
forum.

Many thanks,

John

They do keep tabs on margin for options sales.  They use a SPAN 
system, I
believe that is what it is called.  Since 1987 they have been careful 
about
watching margins, especially on short puts.
