Hold your Leaps. Here's another way to look at your choices. Sometime close to the expiration date, you can decide for each stock how much you want to exercise and thus how much you want to sell the options. You will have taxable gain on the options you sell, but take the net after taxes to pay for the number of shares you want to buy. Accordingly, you will minimize or eliminate having more margin. Since you mention Jan 2002, you might want to sell some after the long term capital gains period kicks in or in December before 2002 expiration and more in January, spreading your taxes into two separate years. That tax strategy is of course dependent on your own financial situation. Just a few things for you to check out and think about.
