Thanks, Tito. Anything else to add to my list of rules?

It's the things you aren't paying attention to, or that you don't think are important, that provide the unpleasant surprises. For instance, none of us was talking about Korea when the stock was at 108.

re: ".I can not think of any reason you are going to lose ." I can think of several reasons, but the risk might be acceptable anyway.

Tito,

The 2001's will become available when the 99's are no longer considered LEAPS,(and subsequently renamed) in July timeframe I believe.

Can anyone comment on the meeting that took place in Geneva and the significance of the outcome? Had to do with opening of markets for securities, banking and insurance around the world. If I can find the Reuters article, I'll post it.

Thanks, Tom

Regarding number 8,

"Never let a LEAP get to within 6 months of expiration. Sell, even if it means a loss."

Why wouldn't you just exercise the leap when it matures, instead of selling it?
