I'm short some ITM Calls on AA which goes ex-dividend ($.10) Monday. Closed @ 55.52 on Fri. They are: 17 Mar 52 31 Mar 55 6 Apr 55 Think I'll be called away? Place yer bets.
Not even close to being called. The only one remotely close is the 17 Mar 52C. Mid is 4.4+52=56.40 Didn't even look up the other 2 as they'll be even farther away.
I've been in this position before, but I found it curious that this is the first time TDA ever sent me an email advising me of the possible consequences. Like paying the dividend for every share I'm short, etc. No big deal either way.
It is a big deal that you asked the question. Take it as incentive to upgrade your knowledge of options.
