Hi Michael,

I've done the math on a number of stocks like WCOM, EXDS and a few more of the volatile ones. I used Jan 2003 leaps as my basis. I simply could not come up with a formula that yielded 12%. The best I could do with EXDS was come up with a 3$ profit over two and one half years (on a 42$ investment). That's about a 3% yield. Are you assuming a rising stock price in order to get a better yield (you would then close the position to realize the gain)? If this is the case, then it is not a risk-free strategy. TIA, Franco.
