>> if i find out more about this, i will post my findings

Please do. I'd be most interested to know how I can buy option on options (or futures on options or options on futures on options or...<G>). I love exotic derivatives. In fact I just offered some bears on the VISX thread to buy some knock-out options from me if they really want to put their money where their mouth is.

I just verified that what you mentioned does exist. It is called a compound option. But I am not sure if it exists for AMAT or where one may buy it. Let me know what you find out. I enjoy a position which keeps my options open (or is it that I enjoy opening my option positions? <vbg>).
