I used to do the same thing. But I wonder if that's a good policy with a stock as volatile as QCOM, which implies very expensive options. A better alternative to buying LEAP calls, why not just buy the stock and save the loss of premium headaches? Upside may be somewhat less, but risk seems way less. Logos
