Re: [TheOptionClub.com] how do I adjust options so they don't get exercised?

 

First, you're right. I mistakenly assumed you were the original poster.
Sorry. Second, my reference to "research staff" was intended to refer
to the membership here in general, not me, for the purpose of making a
point that the original poster was in effect attempting to push off his
homework to those here on the board. With those clarifications my
response stands.

I do find it ironic that the individual questioning the posting of
condescending responses is so quickly to do just that.
