<<That's because one can sell them with say six months to run and still retain much of the time premium.>>

Well, lets hope there will be little or no time premium in the 2001 LEAPS 6 months prior to expiration. The reason will be that they <hopefully> will be deep in the money at that time.

The last time I did my calculations, the 2001 25s were still a good buy. Whether to sell 6 months early will be a source of some agony, for me at least. They will have become long term and the issue will be one of timing, just like short term calls, but with volatility more like the stock.
