I rarely allow ITM options to be assigned (for serials) or to be settled in cash (quarterlies). This December period I actually had a long put that was ITM at the close of Thursday. Upon the open of the S&P 500 cash index, the special opening quotation usually follows shortly thereafter. I am unable to find this SOQ anywhere today. Is it actually published? Or do I just wait until I get my broker statement? When I look at the December ES, all I see is the price at the close of trading. Just curious.
