That's inaccurate. I should have said that, because the in-the-money portion of your contracts rises dollar for dollar along with the common (minus the decrease in time premium value), a doubling of the stock would represent a 300% appreciation of your original capital invested in the LEAPS (minus time premium erosion), vs. a 100% appreciation if you just bought common.
