Sonki, today I rolled my LMFAB into an equal number of ZMFAG. I did this in order to pull some money out of the position and move into the 2001s before the time premium began to decay. I understand that I lost delta by doing this and upon reflection I think the loss of delta may be worse than the loss of time premium.

Overall, how stupid was this move? Also, how do you handle rolling from one year to the next? The LEAPS spreads are obscene but limit orders may leave you without a position if the stock begins to move.

So, if Microsoft sold its OS at $1000 per copy, the DOJ will say that Microsoft has
a monopoly. Since Microsoft sold its products at a lower price , DOJ said Microsoft
sold its products low to maintain its monopoly . So , what should Microsoft do ? Either sell high or low, the DOJ always had an excuse to set up Microsoft as having monopoly power !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
