### Comment:
early exercising a put is almost never optimal. doesnt matter when or for how much it was purchased, if someone were to be assigned on a non optimal exercise he would be getting free money. what is so hard to understand? 
  
 calls are a different story since it can be optimal to early exercise on a stock with high div or borrow.

Assignment is random, that’s what you don’t seem to understand.
