QUOTE(win44 @ Apr 10 2017, 11:10 AM)
Noob Question:

Selling Puts & Calls (using my broker) requires a huge margin limit. Any way to sell options without having the margin to afford 100 shares of the underlying stock?

Example, to sell 1 put option of FB, i need 100*$140 of capital.
Any way around this?

Selling naked (i.e. Without holding the underlying stock) carries fairly high risk, that's why it needs a lot of margin - I'm not aware of any brokers that allow you to sell without a large margin requirement.
