hi ggamer, here is a cute way of at least delaying them but you must have a great stock.. Literally, I know of no way but now we could get cute here and this might even be better because you will have three different time variables working for you. 1. You write 2002 leaps at the money or slightly in the money on you stock. 2. Take that money and come in closer and by other leaps, say Dec. 2000. 3. You now not only have some leaps but all the stock working for you, because remember, you still will get about a third of the appreciation. 4. Now here is the good part. If the stock continues to rise, you will not have sold your stock, therefore no short term gain, if you buy your leaps you covered with at a higher price because of this appreciation, you create a short term loss and you kick ass with you leaps. So you end up with FOUR GAINS that actually includes a short term loss. V
