About Us

LEAPSInvestor LLC was founded in 2006 as an educational organization centered around the idea of using LEAPS (or long-term equity anticipation options) as a tool for long-term investing. Our organization began by teaching seminars in Northern California before expanding to provide informational and educational content and tools online through LEAPSInvestor.com.

About LEAPS

LEAPS are publicly traded options contracts with expiration dates that are longer than one year. Structurally, LEAPS are no different than short-term options, but the later expiration dates offer the opportunity for long-term investors to gain exposure to prolonged price changes without needing to use a combination of shorter-term option contracts. The premiums for LEAPs are higher than for standard options in the same stock because the increased expiration date gives the underlying asset more time to make a substantial move and for the investor to make a healthy profit.
