Thanks. Agree on G* and LOR. Hold some G*, but overweighted on LOR and LEAPS too. Have you looked at new 17.5 or 22.5? Since you seem savy on LEAPS any suggestions on general strategy? Appreciate your point that 20s offer higher delta than 30s but if stock goes up substantially over 40 in next two years, then gain greater percentagewise from 30s, no? 20s seem better if goal is to convert to stock itself in future - less total outlay. And safer as you say. Again, still brand new at this so still experimenting. Chaz
