Tell em where I am confused.

You have sold CC on AMAT Jan 99 $35's for $5.125.

<< My guess is that AMAT goess well above $45 by the end of 3rd qtr in 98 >>

Ok so now AMAT is at 45. The $35 CC is now worth at least $10+premium for 3 months time value.

Would'nt you have been better off keeping the stock and NOW selling the $45 CC for its premium??

<< and that
the premium in the LEAP by then will evaporate to $2 to $3. I probab;y end up
buying it back. >>

AMAT has already gon up $10 from your Strike price. SO you can buy it back for $10+time value ($3??) = $13. You would have been better off not selling the CC.
