I have a question, for anyone that knows how they handle the other side of the trade.

The benefits of writing covered calls are obvious. However, for lightly traded issues, someone making a market in them must take them into inventory. They are in the business to make money on the spread, not take a position in the market. Particularly a position that deteriorates with time, even if the underlying doesn't.

How do the Market Makers hedge the position when they buy calls from you?

TIA
