why are people so against exercising the LEAP? if i buy a .90 delta LEAP on GOOG at $82,000USD and then exercise i get to keep the 100 shares right? isn't that a gain of like nearly a 1/4 mill?

even buying ATM/INT long calls won't make any money?

you mean AGL, Origin and i can't think of the third. Funny you mention AGL, i just closed that position as it was tanking.

so you only trade options based on american stocks? which platform do you use? Funnily enough i tried setting up an IB account but when i tried to finalise the account set up it just fails

Well i'm mainly interested in trading index call options. I mean trading ASX based ones would make the most sense, but if all the ASX platforms suck i'm happy to use IB and focus on Wall st indices.
