Re;"we can set aside 5K in LEAPs and gain in our investment 50K a year" If it was that easy everyone would be doing it. LEAPS do not always appreciate. They can be quite a gamble. Take for example the COMS Strike $50 Jan '98 LEAP. Early this year I bought it at $.75, in July I sold it at $14, today I notice it is down to $.50. I was just lucky I bailed in time. I have followed LEAPS for many years and it is not the candy store you imply.

Tito, I am appreciate your contribution here especially the amat help wanted data. But, IMHO, it will not hurt to look at some historial data from global financial data: globalfindata.com IMHO, the market can go both ways. Best wishes derek Off topic: Just a naive thought: would it be investors' heaven, if we could get rid of all the nationalism in every government and adopt US dollar as the global currency? only wishful thinking.

When Alan Greenspan speaks, people Worldwide listen. Here's my reply to an E-Mail:--- "Investors are accepting the notion that we are now in a Global economy and Alan Greenspan is the unofficial President of the Worldwide economy. This turmoil we are seeing worldwide was unwittingly started by Alan when he hinted that the Market is rising so fast that it is not sustainable in the long run. Yesterday, he assured investors that they will help ease the problems of other countries for the benefit of all including us whose exports will suffer as a result of the slowing of economies abroad. We will be seeing the calming of markets worldwide as Gloom and Doom is replaced by guarded cheer as we near Christmas season...Regards,"
