Might as well hold onto your rmbs leaps I think it'll work out really well for you.

This market is not the same as of old. Things skyrocket and suddenly retreat. Look at CREE which I passed on calls recently for no good reason, down to 86 (menat to buy calls then), up to 140 or more, within a few weeks. If you are holding leaps--you're paying a lot for time premium, and what might happen? QCOM entirely deflated and it may take a while to start moving up (and then, in a more orderly fashion). DELL never recovered in spite of its being a fantastic company--leaps would do nothing for you. It's hard to know but I gave up using them as a vehicle. I used to worry about tax consequences but this is one yera I won't have to worry LOL. So I guess you take a profit--and when you have a wild profit, you let it ride and then take it.
