The semis have shown a bit of strength recently. BRCM has held its own over the last week in the face of the market turmoil and recently formed a double bottom support in the $14 range. I'm looking at the Jan 2011 LEAPS calls. Since they are so far out, only the $15 strike has sufficient open interest for me to touch. The Jan '10 LEAPS calls don't offer much better OI than the '11s in the lower strikes so if I jump in it would probably be with the 2011's for the modest difference in price at the same strike which would give me a year more of time.
