yes. to me the poster was a little over-panicked about the whole thing. I hope he didn't bust a gut at the open (or premarket if SCH trades then). he'd be ok right now w/ that SCH short. he clearly did not have a plan as to what to do if he got assigned. not good. what was it that OJ said about having a complete plan for going in and going out?! :-) I think he violated several rules selling CC's against LEAPS. (not including the relative merits of CC's that I hope taxman won't comment on :-) overall a good lesson for all that choose to read, and probably a cheap one for him in the long run.
