Ibexx, That's good if you already have options. I don't have any. I have stock that I have held on for a long term and done well. Anything I can do between now and the earnings report to enhance my return? Thanks. - SAM

Mr Ibexx.. and all my fellow CSCO Investors... I own 250 shares now of Cisco, not much, but I am starting out. :( Can you help me... Can you explain how I would profit by buying, let's say Jan 2000 or Jan 2001 LEAPS, instead of buying the shares. The Jan 2000 were trading last thusrday, at what, LCY $ 16 right ? The Jan 2001 were trading at 26$ last thursday... Can you explain to me , the question #1 asked above ? Question #2: Let's say I wanted to invest $ 10,000 US. That would normally buy me 100 shares of Cisco at $ 100 Let's say. Can you explain to me what would happen if I bought EITHER 2000 or 2001 LEAPS ? I would really appreciate yours, and others help , in this matter. Thx & Take care Jean
