correct. i did not know anything about the stock. i bought the put solely on a value line recommendation. you're also correct about the teenies--i'm sure one, or at most 2, teenies would have consummated the trade. i was a wise guy and got lucky.

regards

OX,

You seem to have brought this thread to life. Keep up the good work.

so not always prudent to exercise just to collect a few extra teenies.

I don't see any downside on a simultaneous exercise and open market cover if the bid on the option has negative premium.

Regards,

Ken
