Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities, or LEAPS options, are options with expiration dates that are longer than one year. LEAPS are more expensive than shorter-term expiration contracts because the extended contract length gives the option owner more time for the options to become "in the money".

Yes, LEAPS put options can be used for long term protection of your stock positions in order to prevent a catastrophic decline.
