Since you mention Jan 2002, you might want to sell some after the long term capital gains period kicks in or in December before 2002 expiration and more in January, spreading your taxes into two separate years. That tax strategy is of course dependent on your own financial situation. Just a few things for you to check out and think about. That's a good point, I think. I know Unq is buying options in his 401K so he has no such worries at the moment, and I think I'm going to try that with the leaps too, in my KEOGH. On something like Q, far out, the profits might be obscene and it would be nice not to pay taxes on them. Think of how LindyBill did it--all in retirement account--turned 48K into a million, and partly because of no taxes when he would tack in the wind from, say, MSFT to QCOM. Jill
