Mepci, simple and straight forward: i buy to open, sell to close. usually in the money and far out for safety sake. usually start selling on a 50% or more return. exceptions are my csco and emc leaps usually buy in low $ period and have advantage of split. an example: 8/17/99 bought what is now wueaf, jan 02/30, (orignally 60) for 11.215. now worth 53. that's a return on investment all dates of 372%. right now the csco wivap/jan02/80 call for 12.625 has the same kind of % possiblity within a year.
