FlyingArrow Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Does anyone know when we typically start to see the next subsequent years leaps become available? I realize they come available as soon as someone decides to sell some but there must be something programatic about it. I doubt it's the little guy that initiates. In any event I can't recall when the 11's became available but am starting to wonder now as I'd like a little more time in my future leap purchases.

Uccmal Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Last year I was looking for Jan 2011 leaps for several different stocks and nothing came out until late in the fall at all - kind of grateful - it saved me alot of losses in the meltdown The poster fomerly known as uccmal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericd1 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Arrow, I did some checking and learned a lot about option cycles... :) Options Clearing Corp has a 800# and a website and a sister site optioneducation.org with lots of information. Check the FAQs FFH leaps are in the "cycle 1" group. Cycle 1 leaps come out in mid September (~15) . Cycle 2 companies in mid Oct and Cycle 3 in mid Nov. Hope this helps..

Thanks Eric, that's excellent. It also corresponds to a typical low point for FFH as it is in the hurricane season. Might be some good opportunities.

Uccmal Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I was checking my log book. There were no FFH 2011 Leaps available until late last year, possibly early this year (2009). I was still buying 2010 Leaps in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERICOPOLY Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I was checking my log book. There were no FFH 2011 Leaps available until late last year, possibly early this year (2009). I was still buying 2010 Leaps in November. The Jan 2009 Leaps began selling in June or July 2006 (forget which). From year to year it hasn't been consistent.
