Hey Hotnickel, there is no rush to convert your options mate. You have until 31st Jan 2010........Thats ages away to do this. And then if you haven`t got enough to convert your total holding you can sell a few options, and use the proceeds to covert your balance into ordinary shares (VPE)
I reckon unless the heads are paying dividends, its pointless converting your options until close to expiry date.
An important point to consider which has not been discussed with options is *leverage* By purchasing options you can get more bang for your buck. Bear in mind, this can work the other way too, if the options take a slide, you can lose more too.
All the best with your decission!
