Tito, just remember that the power of LEAPS also goes the other way.. Like any other option, the percentage gained or lost is always greater than the percentage change in underlying stock price. Last week I bought some JAN99 leaps when AMAT was around 35, now there's not much left to my investment. Of course I'm still confident that these will still be a good investment, but I say that only because I'm comfortable with the risk... there's a chance, however small, that LEAPS can become worthless, all because the stock doesn't move anywhere - it doesn't even have to go down much. So be careful about touting LEAPS especially to inexperienced investors w/o noting the downside risk. DOM
