Granulocytes, specifically neutrophils, help the body fight bacterial infections. The number of granulocytes in the body usually increases when there is a serious infection. People with a lower number of granulocytes are more likely to develop bad infections more often.
Congrats on a sick trade. If the buyout happens before the options expiration, you can exercise your options for stock, purchase the stock at $28.00, and sell the shares for $40.00 and make $12.00 per share (less the price of the options). Realistically, the value of the call option will go up to $12.00+ and you can just sell the option.
So you're coming into options expiration with short options that are in the money. And you don't want to be short the stock or own the stock. Fair enough. Solution #1: Never get down to options expiration with in the money options. Be proactive with your trades.
