Seth, there might be, but that was not what Toby asked for. He wanted to know a few option strategies for intermed - long term outlook on a stock. If you want to know most of the tax treatment for individuals, go to cboe.com and look for a pub called "Taxes & Investing". If you trade full...

Hey Toby. You got some good advise from MTE & MBradley, ITM LEAPS cheaper than owning stock (with small time decay) and OTM time spreads a way to play a stock that creeps up. Also look at owning the LEAPS and selling an OTM call against it (time-diagonal spread). Time spread and time diagonal...
