dave,

How likely is it that assignment will occur before expiration if I am short DITM options?

Are puts more likely to be assigned than calls?

I am exploring the possibility of establishing reverse ratio put spreads to provide downside insurance on common. The spread would involve shorting a DITM put to finance most of the cost of two long ITM puts. The insurance would be relatively cheap and would not limit the upside ... but it means nothing if the risk of assignment is too high.

Regards,
Ron
