Chic, > I hope this is true. Assuming things do work out this way, I will have all of my money in exercised AMD shares at the start of 2001. Regardless of the future outlook, at that time I will have to start diversifying. I'd like to do it with long term gains. If I'd exercise the 7 July 45's I have now, I could sell those 700 shares in late April 2001 for a long term gain. This would be 3 months before any of my other shares are eligable for long term gains. Also, assuming we have a great year, this would be less than 10% of my shares. > I'm with Petz on this. I believe it's a good idea to exercise your deep in money calls that have a very little to no time premium. While holding the stock for the long term gains, start making money on the shares by selling very near term, out of the money calls as Petz suggested. chic
