    Short options at expiration?

    ok I will be assigned 100 shares short at expiration but since I received $1055 when i sold the option I can buy it back for $1000 leaving me with a $55 profit if SpY were to close at $112. Im not worried about margin at this point.

    I'm shorting AAPL and GOOG

    while I agree both are coming down, you were stopped out on both trades. apparently you doubled down which almost always leads to a blowup, they look safe now yes most here dont trade and post crazy comments...doubling down is a flawed plan.

    It is not the sheep I know. I cant imagine mutual funds are buying this high. Maybe its just the banks buying with tarp money, but most gave it back. So who is it???
