When would AMAT LEAPS for 2002 begin trading? Jan, 1999?
Also, for those who will be buying LEAPS on AMAT at some point,
would the 30's be a better speculation than the 40's? (strike price).
I know Jacob has mentioned the Jan 40's (2001)....any thoughts?

I bought last year at 29 (pre-split) and never sold (sadly). Have written calls against my position to ease the pain. I must say that I'm looking forward to this opportunity to really add to my position (I have a 7-10 year time horizon). I hope to make the bulk of my fortune on AMAT; we'll see.
