Neal: I asked Ibexx questions very similar to yours a while ago but I guess he/she was tired of answering the same questions over and over again (as admitted to you) and hence never received a response.
However, I do follow the discussions pertaining to this topic and would like to remind you about the caution already brought to your attention..... holding 2000 Leaps till July may entail significant time decay of the premium. The mathematical decision regarding the relative advantage of a lower capital gains tax rate would of course depend on your marginal tax rate for earned income etc., things best known to you.
Srini.

Not really.

From my own perspective, options will start losing their time premium rather rapidly 9 months prior to expiry, even if the underlying stock remains unchanged in value. May-June are not good months for stocks due to preannouncements and money managers' rotation of sectors.

However, if you plan to exercise, it would be different.

The bottom line is you should follow your own intuition.

Regards,
Ibexx
