does anyone know whats up with margin requirements to short VXX calls. its miniscule.... meaning. if i want to short september 60 strike calls. 1 short call costs me like 100-200 in margin.... there must be some catch? eh...?.. :) ( and yes, i do know the dangers of naked call shorting and...

All it does is make shareholders a tiny bit more money. I fully agree with your comments. slight correction.--- all it does is makes the GREEDY. owner -Thomas Peterffy. more rich by nickel and diming us.... and btw. if and when they do blow up... he would have siphoned all his profits...

gee.. i wish . i cud increase my exposure.. but .. i have ALWAYS maxed my exposure and leverage to the HILT.. ha ha.. no room for even a marginal increase. ha ha. as they say. leverage to your eye balls.. shouldnt IB give us a bit more leverage so we can take on more risk and make more and...

they did not charge me for SAT /SUN.. so they charged for FRIDAY. and then MONDAY. .. so assuming u hold such positions all year.. u will be hit ~240 days a year.. so ballpark . 0.7% APR. . not 1% APR. which we assumed earlier.

see.. the point is... the way.. Reg T margin and Portfolio margin are designed, there is a reason. for that . ie. to allow you to be short a specific number of Calls/. So if you feel this person is HOLDING undue risk, just increase the margin requirements.. but now they are making this so...

GUYS.. ONE MORE HEADACHE.. HOW WILL WE REPORT THIS OUT TO THE IRS .. ie.. if they keep giving this as a line item... how do we allocate it to all our short calls/puts?

the timing of this "NEW" obfuscated fee couldnt have been more of a coincidence with the trend of declining profits for all Trading houses. ha ha from the owner of IB.. straight from the horse's mouth.. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?t=284420 Thomas Peterffy: Elite...
