"Thank you eric, but I mean, we are talking about a 2001 LEAP. 2001 Would 3 months hit me for more than 10% (closer to 15%) actually ?" --- Well, let's make it a math problem :). When you bought them (April) they had roughly 21 months until expiration. They've now got 18 months until expiration, so approximately 15% of the original time premium has gone by. You can't base it strictly on that, however. LEAPs will behave differently once they're down to 9 months or less of time premium, plus there's the "expectation fudge factor" I mentioned in my previous post. I've got some ZMFADs, and I've seen similar behavior. I'm hanging on until after earnings (or beyond). - Eric

Jean, Microsoft is a hair away from breaking through its all time high. Monday the big gun along with IBM reports its quarterly earnings. If China does not nuke Tawain by then, we should have a great day in the techs and cheer for Microsoft and big blue. Best Regards Frank
