These been some unusual call activity in AUY lately, some 189,600 Jan 2012 $10 call options were sold the other day and another 7,740 Jan 2012 $7.5 calls.
A pretty neurotic, jagged ride to be sure. [see attached chart]
The trend is certainly up, but only going from 7 to 17 in 3 years isn't great.
I jumped on board at 15.66 though, thinking it might be ready for a move to 20+. We'll see.
