Greg, For those of us who are not as sharp as you, would you please give us an example of why you would do the short straddle/long versus buying protective puts. Whoa! I almost blew it on DEC Friday when I tried to sell calls on my Leaps. My limit order wasn't filled. DEC is up ten points but the Jan 99 50 Leaps which closed Friday at 7 3/8 will probably double. How would you play these now. Also, the Leaps get the Compaq shares too. Thanks for all your help. Thanks.
