### Comment:
You can close the option at any time, so no, if you don’t want to end up owning the 100 shares (provided you have the capital in your account) you can sell the contract and if someone buys it, it’s their problem now and you’ve just been credited money directly into your account. The amount varies on how the contract either appreciated or depreciated over time.

### REPLY:
When you say close do you mean sell the call option?

### END.
