CHRIS CHANG AND INTC LEAPS HOLDERS: I have held INTC leaps, about 20% for 1/99 and 80% for 1/2000 in the 65 to 100 strike price range since last year. Most were purchased when stock was at about $90 per share, so most are under water. I would like to hold these, as most are placed in tax-free account. However, having gone through the roller coaster on INTC the past few months, I solicit any advice regarding purchase of puts, assuming that a general market downturn would also bring the Leaps down again. Any strategies for downside protection/opportunity to make money on the downside? This thread has been of great help in my investing. Thanks very much to all participants. Vocex
