By Editor |
Regarding the Estee Lauder (NYSE:EL) Position: One of our readers asked about the possibility of early assignment (in the short APR-$45 calls) and while it is a concern, only in relatively few cases will a short option be exercised prior to expiration. Beyond the occasional random assignment, the underlying issue for a sold call would have to be "deep-in-the-money" before there was a significant probability of early exercise.
