MG, Re: Leaping Lizards Back on 4/24, I captured the stock price and option price for the stock on the DJIA stocks. I wanted to see what happened in the future to the price. In other words, could one just buy a basket of Leaps and gain a better performance than a basket of the underlying stocks. I've eliminated 2 stocks from the DJIA. AA because they offered no leaps and C (TRV/CCI) because CBOE locked up my machine twice trying to get current values and I gave up in frustration. I'll let you all draw you on conclusions.
