...Show me an option strategy for MNTA and in almost every case I’ll show you an optionless strategy that works as well or better once you dispense with the pretenses about event timing...

I'd love to hear about an optionless strategy which compares to buying deep in the money calls on MNTA with a June 2011 expiration (the furthest out available at the moment)

I have a very secure feeling about MNTA and want to leverage the available $$ I have to put towards a purchase. The way I look at deep in the money calls (in an IRA) is that they provide increased leverage at a significantly lower cost than owning the stock. Of course, if MNTA goes to $10 and stays there, I'm out of luck.

And of course, one can't simply compare "how long you can hold it" times between stocks and options, because stocks will always win - but if you have a suggestion as to how I can satisfy my desire to leverage what I feel will be a growth in the price of MNTA, I'm all ears.

Thank you.
