I double-checked my posts from Jan 2. Then, I mentioned high volatility. Jan 6 I said high volume. No matter. REGN's average daily volume is about 250 contracts, calls & puts. Near or at the money. Friday there were 990; 680 calls, 310 puts. Monday 1994 contracts; 1264 calls, 730 puts. Someone said a firm said "protect yourself, sell stock & buy calls." Could that have been SB? Super. Pay a commission to sell stock. Pay a commission to buy (overpriced) calls. And if the stock moves up sharply, pay a commission to exercise the calls. Yeesh! High volume in calls is speculation, absolutely. That's what I've said. No argument. I also said that I don't know why. I hypothesized it might be a FDA ruling. I honestly don't know. It might just be nothing, the stock will cool down and nothing will happen. But I hope it continues upward.
