Ugh...I hate selling a put and then being assigned the shares before expiration. I wish there was an option for the person that sells the position to have their options exercised first. This mostly applies to covered calls though, i.e. if I sell a covered call and am perfectly happy with someone exercising it and taking my shares from me. If I'm hoping to get called out, I'd rather be first in line so I can then apply those funds to another trade instead of just waiting it out.
Does anyone know the rules behind who ends up having their option assigned? By that I mean, what makes me be assigned from an option I sold vs someone else being assigned that had sold the same option?
