Long-term Equity AnticiPation Securities (LEAPS)

Exchange-traded options with an original life of two years or more. Both puts and calls are available, and LEAPs become fungible with ordinary exchange- traded options as their remaining life falls into the maturity range of traditional exchange-listed options. See also Buy-write Option UNitary DerivativeS (BOUNDS).
