Dom, I just checked the quote on those ZKFANs. I see an ask of 67 1/4, so that is about $6700 per contract, right? So at a $170 strike, AOL needs to go above $237 to be in the money, a 40% appreciation. Seems like a pretty good bet by 2001, and it protects the downside in case of a catastrophe. Is there any advantage to buying LEAPs today versus tomorrow, or do the premiums just follow the split value?
