- So assume that I wrote 10 call contract options due in March at a strike price
- of $15, and therefore I got a premium of 10x$Y = $X right away.
- As we approach march, the stock has gone down a bit in price and the market
- is trading those call options at $Z per contract, where $Z << $Y, so it makes
- sense to go ahead and buy 10 contracts at $Z each and eliminate all the risk
- involved in this transaction.
-
- Now say that the stock took an upswing in the last day and the price went
- higher than $15 (the strike price) and of course I get called, is my
- stockbroker smart enough to go and call those options that I have and pay
- whoever call me with those shares? If no, how do I avoid the risk of being
- called and not being able to call those options that I have?
-
- thanks,
- Jim.
