2020 LEAPS will be rolled out over a three month period. Cycle 1: Monday, September 11th, 2017: January 2020 LEAPS® listed Cycle 2: Monday, October 16th, 2017: January 2020 LEAPS® listed Cycle 3: Monday, November 13th, 2017: January 2020 LEAPS® listed ? You are lossing me here: all three are Jan. 2020 LEAPS? All leaps ( long term options) most expire in Jan of any given year. I have call options on MNKD now that run till Jan 2019. With a strike price of $2. I plan on buying the $5 calls for 2020 when they get listed.

I’m a chicken, so I buy right “out of the money” calls as far out as I can. Then hold them over a year. ( Helps with taxes:-) Options let you risk less to make more. One option lets you control 100 shares of stock.

( Helps with taxes:-) Options let you risk less to make more. One option lets you control 100 shares of stock. So you are saying these LEAPS differ of their strike prices? Also, does LEAPS differ from other options other than their very long expiration? www.optionsplaybook.com/rookies-corner/buying-leap-options/We’ve already warned you against starting off by purchasing out-of-the-money, short-term calls. Here’s a method of using calls that might work for the beginning option trader: buying long-term calls, or “LEAPS”. The goal here is to reap benefits similar to those you’d see if you owned the stock, while limiting the risks you’d face by having the stock in your portfolio. In effect, your LEAPS call acts as a “stock substitute.” LEAPS are longer-term options. The term stands for “Long-term Equity AnticiPation Securities,” in case you’re the kind of person who wonders about that sort of thing. And no, that capital P in AnticiPation wasn’t a typo, in case you’re the kind of person who wonders about that sort of thing too. Options with more than 9 months until expiration are considered LEAPS. They behave just like other options, so don’t let the term confuse you. It simply means that they have a long “shelf-life”. First, choose a stock. You should use exactly the same process you would use if purchasing the stock. Go to Ally Invest’s Quotes + Research menu, and analyze the stock’s fundamentals to make sure you like it. Now, you need to pick your strike price. You want to buy a LEAPS call that is deep in-the-money. (When talking about a call, “in-the-money” means the strike price is below the current stock price.) A general rule of thumb to use while running this strategy is to look for a delta of .80 or more at the strike price you choose. Remember, a delta of .80 means that if the stock rises $1, then in theory, the price of your option will rise $0.80. If delta is .90, then if the stock rises $1, in theory your options will rise $0.90, and so forth. The delta at each strike price will be displayed on Ally Invest’s Option Chains. As a starting point, consider a LEAPS call that is at least 20% of the stock price in-the-money. (For example, if the underlying stock costs $100, buy a call with a strike price of $80 or lower.) However, for particularly volatile stocks, you may need to go deeper in-the-money to get the delta you’re looking for. The deeper in-the-money you go, the more expensive your option will be. That’s because it will have more intrinsic value. But the benefit is that it will also have a higher delta. And the higher your delta, the more your option will behave as a stock substitute. You must keep in mind that even long-term options have an expiration date. If the stock shoots skyward the day after your option expires, it does you no good. Furthermore, as expiration approaches, options lose their value at an accelerating rate. So pick your time frame carefully. As a general rule of thumb, consider buying a call that won’t expire for at least a year or more. That makes this strategy a fine one for the longer-term investor. After all, we are treating this strategy as an investment, not pure speculation. Now that you’ve chosen your strike price and month of expiration, you need to decide how many LEAPS calls to buy. You should usually trade the same quantity of options as the number of shares you’re accustomed to trading. If you’d typically buy 100 shares, buy one call. If you’d typically buy 200 shares, buy two calls, and so on. Don’t go too crazy, because if your call options finish out-of-the-money, you may lose your entire investment. Now that you’ve purchased your LEAPS call(s), it’s time to play the waiting game. Just like when you’re trading stocks, you need to have a predefined price at which you’ll be satisfied with your option gains, and get out of your position. You also need a pre-defined stop-loss if the price of your option(s) go down sharply. Trading psychology is a big part of being a successful option investor. Be consistent. Stick to your guns. Don’t panic. And don’t get too greedy.

Sports: Congratulations and thank you for bringing attention to MNKD via all your efforts on social media. I’m looking forward to POSITIVE coverage on CNBC from Pete and the other traders due to the recent momentum.
When do you believe we will see positive national media coverage recommending MNKD as a long term investment? Cramer has been negative on MNKD for years.

You’re welcome:-) From what I hear when we get over $5. It’ll take Cramer longer but he will have to address it. Mike is going to be ...I can’t find the words I’m so excited!

I've been on this board for quite awhile now, but have only been posting recently. I've been invested in MNKD for over 5 years now. Your posts, commitment, and insight (as well as many others) has been inspiring and incredibly helpful.
