About those leaps... You said: For instance, to double your money on the LLUAN, the stock needs to be at $90 (year 2000). Well if you bought the stock at $45, you would double your money at $90 too... ----------- True, but for $10,000 (@ $10/Leap) you can buy the equivlent of 1000 shares of QCOM. Now that's leverage! : ) Also you said: Also, there are other leaps like the $40 Jan 2000 leap at $19 and so on that have better figures...more premium but have more intrinsic value too... ----------- If you have a chance to explain further, I've had a little trouble figuring out which leap to buy at times...the 60's, the 70's, etc. What is your method for figuring out the best bang for the buck?
