Without any significant premium left on leaps, if you are able to exercise (a.k.a. have the cash to do it), it is a good thing to do in terms of margin. Leaps are not marginable, and equity is. This particular strike was valued at $72, and represented a sizeable investment at current value. Converting it to equity allowed me to move that value (plus the strike) to equity from options.

It was principally a margin issue. I remain highly bullish on Level 3.

Hope this helps.

dm...re : "no premium left as dim"

if you are a buyer or owner of a long leap, i would think this is a great condition, based on your point by point logic....closing early negates the leverage that the position was established for.....basic concept...buyer wants minimum premium to the market, seller wants maximum....
