Thanx, I don't buy leaps--this is too much a trader's market. I did sell some leap puts on JDSU last spring and its a bit annoying how slowly they decay. I gues they're worth about half now. I can't trade well if I feel I'm at risk. I seem to need to feel I have a choice. Even if I don't hold onto the options, I'd rather pay more and buy less and know that if it turns against me I can wait it out if I so choose. It gives me psychological breathing room I've learned I must have or I really screw up!
