Interesting Option Prices today on SVGI. With the SVGI stock trading at 26 to 27 the October 35's are worth 1 3/4 by 2. This is an abnormally high premium for a relatively non volatile stock such as SVGI. A few weeks ago it was a stretch to get 1 for the Oct. 30's .

Why would the Oct.35,s all of a sudden have such a high premium? My opinion is that there is some significant news to be announced in the next few days. Perhaps a buy out, or a merger with a stronger partner.

Hopefully there are some technical proficient thread viewers that could postulate who would want to acquire SVGI?

Would a AMAT-ETEC-SVGI merger make sense? (AMAT-ETEC being done. Would a Nikon-SVGI merger make sense? These are questions for the experts that view this thread.
