I can't figure this one out, but there was a ton of call buying on the Dec and Jan ALDX calls today. Most at the ask.
But the stock tanked. There's no new news since the last time we discussed it a week or two ago.
Someone also bought quite a few $5 puts for cheap. A hedge? Beats me.
Something's brewing though.
$ALDX -----> $7.16 (-6.77%)
