<I actually like the MRK Aug. $50's calls. Buying at $49.02 and selling the Aug. $50's for $1.15 gives you 4.3% if called out. That's darn good and the stock seems to be in a lower range, not upper.>

Or how about the Aug 45's bought at $4.50, and the Aug 50's sold at $1.15

That gives a 35%ish return if called out.

So MRK jumped a lot today...

If you shorted those Calls, would the stock of been called away TODAY??
or could you ASK they be exercised so you get out of this???
or must you wait for expire day??

Thanks
