Logos,

I had only one experience whereby my shares (under covered calls) were called away. In that particular instance, the MMs (or whoever bought my calls) waited until last minute to exercise--almost a month after the stock price exceeded the strike by 5-10 points.

Not sure if that was an isolated case or what.

Logos, Usually options are exercised close to expiration. Whenever they are called early, it normally is to capture dividends. If an investor wished to cash in on option gains, they most likely will sell the option to get a higher leveraged gain, instead of ponying up cash to buy the stock. You're stuck until October unless you buy back your option.

Regards,
Bob

Almost always, like 99.9999% of the time you will be called at the expiration. In over 10 years I have only had a client called before exp. once.
