Let's let that sleeping dog lie, Jill. I'm glad you're feeling more comfortable about your involvement on SI and I hope all is well otherwise.

>> I know a few people who've done obscenely well just buying leaps on G&K type stocks (and some others) and exercising them a few years later. I do, as well, but waiting to exercise a LEAPS in a tax sheltered environment makes no sense to me. Even if they continue to appreciate for the last 9 months before expiry, what you have done is thrown away time premium needlessly. The more logical approach is to roll them out and up before the premium disappears. imho, uf btw, what are you doing posting at 4 in the morning? Insomnia?

OT Jill, I do not follow the interpersonal goings on between you, Poet, or any others in the options thread(s). I was not aware of any issues, history, problems, resolutions, so my question was not intended to embarass you or open wounds. I am concerned, however, because of past events in which I directly involved, that the NTAP thread will become a battle ground. I am also concerned that options discussions will take the thread OT. The NTAP thread has been a very focussed, easy to follow thread for years. We do have our humorous, OT moments, but nothing too hard to handle. I hope that we can keep it that way. I am going to post this publicly. Jerry
