If you are short the 105 puts, it wouldn't happen with the stock at 98 1/2. If you are long the 100's, you could exercise the option or short the stock to lock in a profit. I'm sorry...a little dense....and rEALLLY inexperienced...but could anyone explain how selling short locks in a profit on this trade. I'm long the Feb 100 Puts, the stocks at 98...so briefly run through the shorting transaction, and how it works, if you would please.
