Even though one would not normally assign out of the money options, as far as I know there's nothing stopping a holder from doing so. I find it interesting that QCOM is down this morning. I would be very surprised if a stock with a good probability of being up on the Monday following options expiry would ever be assigned.

The same thing happened to me a little while ago with CSCO. As I was making a profit on the position, I sold it immediately, although it turned around a couple of days later so if I had waited I would have been better off. It all depends on what you expect QCOM to do. You could sell and simultaneously write a new put.
