Stan, I agree. I always find making aggressive returns with Leaps or options very illusive. There was also a time when stock just dipped in a big trough around Dec-Jan time frame but them recovered substantially in March. As options expire on a set date, you do not have option of riding the trough by holding on to it. Instead, you can look at a covered call strategy -- buy the shares and SELL the leaps for Jan 03. Using your price of 33.6 and option price of 7.4, your net cost will be (33-6-7.4)=$26.2 per share and you will end up making money even if stock falls to 27 in Jan 2003. However, you are not likely to make more than 52%. Basis Jan 03 Return 26.2 35 33.59% 26.2 45 52.67% 26.2 55 52.67% 26.2 65 52.67% 26.2 75 52.67% 26.2 85 52.67% 26.2 95 52.67%
