LEAP options is an acronym for Long-term Equity Anticipation. It is an option contract which is said to expire at least a year from the purchase date. It should be noted that they are more affordable than stocks due to the fact that they are typically offered at an option contract price.
A customer buys an equity LEAP contract on the first day that the option starts trading. If the contract expires "out the money," the customer will have a long term capital loss.
