Tito, maybe this is of interest... Applied Materials (NasdaqNM: AMAT - news) Inc.'s options were active ahead of its May 14 quarterly earnings report as a large investor established a new position in its June calls while closing out a position in the July calls, market watchers said. It appears this investor sold more than 12,000 June 22 .50 calls and bought back a similar amount of July 27 .50 calls. If this person owns the underlying stock, this trade would provide a downside hedge at a lower strike price and a month earlier than before. With Applied Materials shares down 9 cents to $22.78, the price of the June 22 .50 calls fell 50 cents to $1.95 at the American Stock Exchange. The July 27 .50 calls fell 5 cents to 80 cents at the AMEX. biz.yahoo.com
