Maurice:

You are correct regarding options being, imo, the best way to play G*'s upside. As someone who had Jan 00 LEAPs in QCOM and happily sold them for a 100% profit, I know that LEAPs / options can be a way to leverage. I know this because I then watched those QCOM LEAPS basically turn into a 25 bagger about 6 months after I sold. Why is it that you remember your "mistakes" (tough to call a 100% ROI in about 6 months a mistake, but missed opportunity hurts) better than your victories?

It's been my plan for months to look at G* '03 LEAPs around Sept / Oct of this year based upon the premise that G*'s Q3 numbers will suck and the street would then crush G*; that crushing actually came earlier than expected. I figure that by Jan 03, G* will either soar or sink--no middle ground. If G* soars, the options will provide a much higher ROI than the stock; if G* sinks, the LEAPs will be worthless, but the stock most likely will be too (or very close to nil).
