> I'm not sure I understand the resistance to using the uncovered call terminology as opposed to the highly innaccurate (but more Main Street comprehensible) "debt" analogy.
Specifically, it is because the managers I am attempting to communicate with understand the concept of "debt" and do NOT understand the concept of "uncovered calls". I work at a bank and VERY few of the managers I need to explain things to would really understand uncovered calls. I would guess that people at other kinds of employers may find it even worse.
