Dale, i will delve into your leap question. Think of buying leaps like you are buying the stock except that you pay less for "owning" the stock and you have a drop dead time at which the underlying stock has to reach your target (the strike price). If the stock doesn't move above the strike price within the expiration time, unlike owning the stock you lose all your money. You have to assess how quickly you think the stock will move up. If there are problems, and there usually are with new technologies, systems, etc., the delay may keep the stock from moving where you'd like it to be.
