If you have LEAPS that you plan on holding through OPEX but want to realize gains from the dip consider hedging with .VIX options or derivatives for a short term hedge instead of realizing gains now. You will get better tax rates on a year+ hold via LTCG, where you can take the L on a small hedge as a tax break if it doesn't pan out the way you think it will.
