Have you tried trading LEAPS?

Q: What are LEAPS?

A: Acronym for `Long-term Equity AnticiPation Securities`

LEAPS are long-term equity options that are traded on U.S Exchanges and OTC. Instead of expiring in the near term months as most equity options do, LEAPS expire in 2-5 years (mostly for larger firms and several stock indices) thus giving the buyer a longer time for his strategy to come to fruition. LEAPS are traded on many individual stocks listed on the NYSE, American Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.
