finally, always words of caution: watch your margin... ETrade treats leaps as cash transactions (I assume everyone does), and it does play havoc with your margin. When I buy a leap, my equity percent goes way down, because the value of the leap is not calculated as part of my equity, so subsequently I get a much lower margin % (higher amount of margin), which could result in a margin call. Not a problem in the long term, since I plan to get out of margin as soon as the new year starts by selling some of my winners and buying more leaps.
