Hi Eric:

The safest way to go is to use the delta of the option as a proxy for
the stock. In other words, let's say that after the optimal f exercise,
you determined that you could buy 10 shares. If the delta of the option
is .33, then 30 options (10/.33)would be appropriate.

There is a potential problem however. Since buying options is a 100%
risk of invested capital, you must make sure that the total potential
loss conforms with your comfort level.

Ray
