Re: Option Assignment

American style options can be assigned anytime, so you're always in danger of being assigned! Usually however, this is not what happens. Options are usually assigned when they are exercised by their holder, which usually happens when the option is deep in the money, or after expiration if they are 0.75 points or more in the money.
