Michelle,

I pretty much don't buy long calls or puts for the nets at all, only play the near term such as the Friday before or Monday of the option week. (I bot 4 Amzn June100 calls @1 3/8 and sold @3 1/4 this week; a measly $600 gain vs $6K.)

I write options very often for my long portfolio, such as Intc in the past, and probably LU in the future.

I know HG is very "good" or "active" in trading long calls with Cmgi..etc..

To avoid paying a lot in time value premium, try buying puts or calls farther in the money. Yes, you get less leverage that way, but who doesn't mind paying for intrinisic value? The deeper in the money you go, the less you have to pay for time value.
