>> Exactly. Gawd, how I wish I could buy ten-year LEAPS. Qualcomm $97.5 (ATM) 2002 LEAPS closed at 38 3/4 on Friday. They have 20 months left on them. A 10 year LEAPS would have a lifetime 6 times longer. The time premium multiplier between 20 month and 120 month LEAPS would be the square root of 6, or 2.45, so the LEAPS would cost 2.45 X 37.75 = $92.49 Qcom closed at $98. You've reached the point of diminishing return, and might as well buy the stock. uf@optionsvaluationsarefun.com
