You do the "comprehende" thing just to annoy people, or are you showing off your Spanish skills (It's comprende by the way)?
There are lots of reasons why high margin kills otherwise low to no risk strategies, buying naked futures isn't the only way to trade them. A little humility about the potential that there might be strategies out there that you don't know about or "comprende" would go a long way.

I did. You assume that all use of margin is high risk. That is an incorrect assumption.
