Tito, i am not an expert on options but i notice your LEAPS have a wide strike price, 50 to 80. i assume this is just in case if AMAT doesnt reach the higher end before expiration, the lower strike LEAPS will cover your lost for the higher strike LEAPS??? does the 50 LEAP provide a much bigger bang than the 80? i know that LEAPS dont move dollar per dollar with the stock. but doesnt buying in the money, give you a closer move to the underlining stock movement? and if so, wouldnt the 50 LEAP give you a bigger bang then the 80 since the premium difference is not $30 for the 50/80 leap? henry
