By the way, regarding options quote. If you ever have doubts about the quotes you are getting from your provider, you can always check with one of the original source, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange itself: quote.cboe.com Note that the free quotes are delayed. A good way to get real-time info if you are not a heavy trader and have access to free RT is to put an order with your broker, they will confirm the real-time bid (or ask if you want to buy). Then cancel the trade before submitting it. IMPORTANT: options are not as liquid as stock, volumes are much lower. i.e., the "last trade" price might be quite far off the current bid level. So to look at the value of the LEAPS you own, make sure to look at the Bid (how much the best buyer is willing to pay for your options), rather than the price of the last trade. For the same reason, I'd suggest you only use limit order when buying or selling options. And again, congrats on what may be your best investment decision ever ;-) -amic
