I understand that some pros exercise early to get the capital gains clock going since they want to hop off when hypergrowth abates. I didn't know that. All I've run across re early exercising is arbitrageurs, when the call is trading below parity, and a situation (that makes my head hurt) where large dividends are coming. -- courtesy of McMillan.

Dr. Voop and Dr. Apollo, thank you both taking my case on, despite your lack of credential in psychiatry. As you know, the MoMo side of my split personality attempted to take control last weekend, but with your help, I managed to stave off that wierdo. My index finger only twitched 10 or 15 times today, as a strange compulsion to trade my leaps came over me. As you suggested, I threatened it with amputation and it quieted down each time. This thread of rich personalities will be flat richer by tomorrow morning. From a completely objective point of view, I think we richly deserve it <g>. A toast to our hardy gang of Gorilla hunters!
