> But then again one will still make money holding into exp. The smart play would be to trade the leaps. Greed is the essential ingredient in financial disaster. I agree selling the calls a few months before expiration is probably a good idea, if for no other reason than to make it easy on me. I guess that would be an argument for the Jan 03's. >You might want to consider a spread play over a > few months to optimise your entries. Next year may turn into a category 5 Hurricane for all Bulls leaving the only the Bears to pick through the litter-be careful I'd rather not get too involved in short term ups and downs. But would you be more specific about your suggestion for my consideration? Do you mean a spread by buying a call and simultaneously writing another call that expires a few months later? Or do you mean buying a call when it's low (e.g. now) and writing another call for the same expiration date once the price goes up some (hopefully in a few months)? Or do you mean something else entirely? Thanks,
