What are LEAPS ?

“LEAPS" stands for Long-term Equity Anticipation Securities. They are a type of options contract that has an expiration date that is longer than the standard options, often ranging from a year to several years in the future. LEAPS can be either call options or put options.

Key characteristics of LEAPS:

1. Longer Duration: LEAPS options typically have expiration dates of more than one year, allowing traders and investors to take a longer-term view on the price movement of the underlying asset.

2. Strategic Use: Investors may use LEAPS to hedge existing positions, speculate on the future price movements of stocks or other securities, or to take advantage of tax strategies.

3. Flexibility: Similar to regular options, LEAPS give investors the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) the underlying asset at a specified price (the strike price) before or at expiration.

4. Potential for Higher Returns: Due to the longer time frame, LEAPS can provide greater potential for price appreciation compared to standard short-term options.

5. Liquidity: While many LEAPS are liquid and actively traded, liquidity can vary by individual contracts and underlying assets.

In summary, LEAPS serve as a financial instrument for those looking to engage in options trading with a longer time horizon, offering greater strategic flexibility compared to standard options.
