Johnd, i think that story is going to make some options traders some money. It might move a couple of dollars in the morning and maybe those sept 120 put sellers might be making some money!!!!
That would be my guess for the morning. By the afternoon, we don't know how the stock will go but the morning should see a good gain.
Might be bigger news than just the announcement.
