Consider, for example,recent movements in call options on the stock of Alcan Inc. Volumes jumped in the week leading up to the May 7 takeover bid from Alcoa, providing a hint that something could be in the works. When the announcement did come, the option contract shot up from $ 0.25 to $ 15.50 - a 60 fold gain that turned $ 15,000 into nearly $ 1 million.
