### Comment:
You can always exercise an option, till it's expired. That's what an American option is (and srsly you should've known this beforehand). Brokers (or the clearing house or something else, don't remember) automatically exercise in the money options at expiration.

This guy at E*trade told me I couldn’t on the phone one time. So I shorted 100 shares to off set it. Was about 30 mins after market close. Is that not some bullshit?
