An interesting point. The covered calls that I have written have always been exercised at expiration, when ITM. If the call holders don't have the money or desire to buy the stock they will sell the options beforehand, which explains (to me at least) why VIX dropped substantially on Friday.

L3,
I thought most options were settled in cash when they expired. Is that not still true?

Thanks,

Peter :o)
