Options traders mostly place trades with 3060 days to expiration, but we are not limited to shortterm trades. We can also place longterm options trades via LEAPS (LongTerm Equity Anticipation Securities).

In this video, I cover:

1) What are LEAPS in options trading?
2) What are the differences between shortterm and longterm options.
3) How LEAPS can generate massive percentage gains relative to the stock price return over a period
4) Why implied volatility collapsing is not a huge concern when buying LEAPS call options.
5) Why LEAPS should be avoided on most stocks because of liquidity reasons (low open interest/volume).

I hope this video is helpful and you have a better understanding of how you can incorporate LEAPS in your portfolio, and especially if you have a strong directional prediction for a stock over the next year or so.
