Subject: Re: An option has been assigned
I suppose you could say I'd be equally happy to have been forced to buy it for an all-in price of $497 during any of 2028, or to have pocketed the time value I got when I sold the puts. I never modeled what it might look like in between those two points and time periods.

It's always possible to just sell the shares and write a different put again. I do that when something is assigned. Not convenient in a taxable account, of course.
