Is anyone still interested in those 4000 Dec 40 Puts? They've been rolled again. This time to Feb 30 Puts.

On Dec 4 I wrote:
"Since this position is still open I believe these puts were sold by an investor or fund expecting the price to rise. Now the question is how will this position effect the stock price through the Dec option experation? My guess is that AGPH will stay depressed significantly below 40 so that these puts can not be rolled forward again and will expire worthless. I hope I'm wrong because I am long."

Dec 40 Puts are going for about 11 bucks and Feb 30 Puts are going for 4. Whoever has this position must be VERY BULLISH on AGPH because it just cost them 7 points to stay alive (this is in addition to their original investment). 7 points in this case is $2,800,000.00
