Vince, what I mean by "all the investor needs to use is 5K to make it 100K in 1 year" is that the investor doesn't need much money to earn a lot of money if the stock is going to duplicate its feat of gaining 400% from the bottom to the top in 1 year. If you just take a sentence from my Post and interpret it as it is without considering the contents of the whole Post, then you got me wrong. I am not saying that the stock will gain 400% every year and that the LEAPs will gain 1900% every year. The AMAT threader is not Dumb to believe that. I think we should end this thing. we don't understand each other. Sorry...

Vince, You're not being fair to Tito at all, particularly when you use the word "guarantee". Trying to back-track by lifting one of his sentence out of context didn't look too good either. You're trying to warn the novices, and that's a very good thing, but do it in a fair way. There's a saying that 90% of people who do short-term options lose money. LEAPs are slightly less risky than short-term options, but much more risky than owning the stocks. It is simply a leveraging tool for those willing to take the extra risk. Nobody should use it if they have any doubt at all about it. If one can't afford to lose the money, then please stick with owning the stock.
