This is also an argument for buying the longest LEAPS calls and rolling out into the longest new LEAPS calls when they become available. That way, if you must buy calls you are at least buying the cheapest time. :)

Thank you, mathemegician. It's good to know that I can now do the right thing for the right reason instead of doing the right thing not knowing the best reason for doing it.

Since the value of the option decays at the rate Sqrt(time)...

I would have thought the decay rate of options was exponential, that is: log(time)? Why sqrt?

Thanks,
Tom
