Getting assigned on short calls

Sure, but that hasn't happened yet, so it's better to get out in front of it.

 

Did you pre-borrow the share from your IB? I suppose all you have to do is revamp the quantity that corresponds to the anticipated short sale.

 

Good luck finding anyone to ask...

 

right.
In general, always avoid contacting help-desks.
Either they are too busy, or they don't know much
or they will give you ridiculous answers.


There are some good HELP-DESKS.
there are quite a few UNHELP-DESKS too.
