    Yes. I meant to say short stock to offset the long put exercise. I usually do the opposite (sell stock to hedge short puts or buy stock to hedge short calls).

  8. This is such a great thread for demonstrating what can happen when trading options. Especially for newer traders, but also those who have traded for awhile.

    It's a classic "Everything is fine. It's closing time on expiration and my short ops are safely OTM." Nope!

    My market moto is if the market can hurt you, it will hurt you. Don't let it!

    @pointbob, it would be much appreciated if you could let us know what happened. Did you get margin call? Did you try selling calls? Just share whatever info you’re comfortable with please.
