1. Okay, what I want to do is the opposite. I want to sell ITM Leaps to maximize premium. I would use the premium to either finance puts or to protect losses on my underlining stock. Another Idea is to finance near term calls to collect near term bullish move. I would sell the calls near the top and when the stock pulls back I would Buy to Close my Leaps. What are you thoughts on the strategy? is there a name for those ideas?
