A ten year LEAP. Let's see, an out of the money Jan 00 40 costs $11
on a $33 stock, so thats about a 33% factor. 120 months divided by 26 months is about 4.6 times the 33% gives a bit over 150% of the stock cost. You could buy 2 LEAPS or 300 shares for the same cost, the LEAP could go to zero. (OK, the stock could go to zero also but).
Why would you want to do that?
