RE: GMST "Gemstar International Group (GMST) completed its $9.2 billion purchase of TV Guide (TVGIA) after antitrust enforcers approved the combination. The new company will be called Gemstar-TV Guide International. GMST has surged ahead by over 15 percent on this news, while TVGIA has stepped up by more than 23 percent. GMST has reached its highest intraday level since April 7, as the stock continues its near-term upswing. Since its intraday bottom on May 26, the shares have risen by 122 percent. On the options front this afternoon, 2,165 and 1,652 contracts have traded on the July 60 and 70 calls, respectively. The July 60 call has open interest of 5,399 contracts, while call open interest at the July 70 strike is just 50 contracts. The August 55 put also has been active on volume of 4,004 contracts. Open interest on this option stands at 2,525 contracts. This is currently one of the most-active put contracts on the CBOE."
