Summary:

In October of 1990, the Chicago Board Options Exchange introduced LEAPS - Long Term Equity AnticiPation Securities - to the options market. These new longer-term options quickly became the most successful product since index options. Today, the open interest in LEAPS exceeds 1,000,000 contracts - the equivalent of 100,000 shares. The popularity of LEAPS has created a great demand for more information about them. LEAPS: What They Are and How to Use Them for Profit and Protection is the first-ever guide to understanding and using the most successful new product in the listed options market. With a view to clarity and readability, Roth uses straightforward language, plenty of examples, and even humor to illustrate the concepts behind the creation of LEAPS, as well as the basic LEAPS strategies - from bullish to bearish to neutral. Roth walks readers through each strategy, describing the theory behind the technique and showing how the strategy actually works from inception to closure.
