I would like as many people as possible to beta test the following, very comprehensive Excel based options simulator. If you are using Excel 97, it updates all interests automatically. It can be found at the options link in the top menu of rcmfinancial.com . Please provide as much feedback as possible.

Actually, Doug, after looking at the AMD options on CBOE, I don't think it is a LEAP. There is only one duplicate at a strike of 47.5 and has a bid of 7. Since AMD is in the 20s, that LEAP would have to be quite a way out. I don't follow AMD at all, but, was there a split or something? Kind of a coincidence that the strike is about twice the current price. Not only that, but, the LEAPS use a different base symbol than the normal options. So since the base code is still AMD, I don't think it's a LEAP. Sorry for steering you in the wrong direction. Gary
