>With that in mind, I am planning on cashing my trading shares for calls tomorrow.< Try not to miss the forest for the trees :-) No matter how badly the analysts misread the trees (the estimates for NVS’ end-user Lovenox sales and MNTA’s EPS), the Lovenox forest is the shell game being played by Teva.

Momenta pooped* slightly on the news* I think you meant "popped"? (Not that I would be surprised to see MNTA go down inexplicably!)

Very high volatility levels lead to high premia - around 70 in the case of the NOV 15's - and make an option buying strategy expensive, IMO.

A small flurry of changes today. My broker doesn't tell me who did the changes in these alerts. Makes them even more useless than normal... :) Perhaps Dew has a better handle on increased R&D/Sales and Marketing expenses to better describe why these analysts are predicting a short term drop in earnings.
