The ES will already be open. Similar to Brexit, I think a binary event like an election can be managed through the night. The ES didn't gap...

No shit. That's why I asked the question tongue in cheek. I overestimated your abilities to see through the sarcasm. By your logic on never...
What hogwash. I would welcome early assignment--eliminates extrinsic value. Are covered calls ok in your opinion?
NFLX calendar was a dud. Closed for a nickel yesterday. IBM put ratio worked well which I closed today for a little profit. Opened up a couple...
