Do a search for writing covered calls on LEAP options. Again, it's really a covered call strategy and probably best suited on a stock that you are neutral to slightly bullish on over the LEAP period. The idea is that if you can get a LEAP with very little time premium, as in this case, the income percentage from the options is much higher than owning the shares. Of course, you will not collect the dividends by only holding the options, so you must factor that in. If you get to expiration and the stock has risen above your written call strike price, you have several options. You can roll the option to a new one with a higher strike price, or you can buy back the written option and sell the LEAP...I've done this several times; but, never let one go to expiration, so not sure what happens mechanically..you should ask your broker to be sure..anyway, just a thought and an alternate way to look at options with negligible time premium.
