very high call volume on ABT,POT today
- Thread starter smile
- Start date
ABT is dividend related.
so is POT.
so is POT.
Quote from smile:
Incredibly high call volume in the Jan. 2013 monthlies for ABT and POT today. The POT 25 call for Jan. 13 had over 1million contracts traded.
Anyone have any idea why?
Also very large volumes for the Nov 12 monthlies as well.
Many thanks for any insights.
Curious. I know they both go ex-div tomorrow, so that explains some of it. Also, ABT is splitting into two companies near the end of the year. If someone knew something (like a takeover) I would think we'd see more OTM volume. But that sure is a lot of contracts relative to OI.

Those ABT calls are deep 'in the money' calls. If someone knows the price will move up significantly in the near future, he would buy 'out of the money' call.
