Unusual Options Activity
Altera (ALTR)- The Apr $47/$55 bull call spread was put on 10,000 times for a $1.000 debit and the May $47/$55 bull call spread was put on 5,000 times for a $2.00 debit. These follow yesterday’s May $44/$50 bull call spread buyer of 5,000 for a $1.80 debit. Shares have fully recovered from the gap down yesterday (rumors that Intel was no longer interested in acquiring the company) and actually made a new high relative to the March 27th peak when the Intel rumors came out. Reports were that Intel was willing to pay in the low $50’s, so the recent call spread trades could be positioning for a re-offer by Intel or another large tech company.
