It's never a good idea to exercise before the day of expiration. Just ask yourself what you gain by exercising early.

OK, I understand what you are saying about exercising the option to buy the stock, but what about rolling the leap over to a later leap, to allow more time for growth. Poet's question was about rolling 2001 into 2002s, mine about rolling 2002s into 2003s, but it is the same question. Is there an advantage to doing that?

Oh gosh, I'm sorry Kayaker. I can understand why you thought I was saying to exercise DIM calls before the expiration date. What I meant was that the likelihood is that the LEAPs will be very DIM and one always has the choice at expiration to either sell or exercise. I completely agree with you on the no-no's of early exercising.
Sorry for the ambiguity.
