Question on call writing. I'm a rookie at this and am trying to learn. Assuming I write this call for MU (currently trading around 43) - Feb '01 40. Let's say it keeps trading over 40 but then on expiration falls below 40. I know my shares can be called at anytime until expiration. However, what is the probability for that to happen? Will my shares be taken away even if the stock on expiration date is below 40, but had traded much higher than 40 earlier? TIA
