Nathan, (VTS) I agree, I think since I can't find any sign that the company reported maybe tomorrow will be VTS's day to shine. I'll be tracking it for a while yet.

someone liked vts. Over 750 contracts traded in the June 45 and 50's with an outstanding interest, between the two strikes, of 3. I have a feeling this might be a good one to enter tomorrow, I think they may be covering their losses w/o spending the capital for more shares? Looks like a little hedging. * * * C A L L S * * * For DBS clients authorized to trade options. Click on description to go directly to option order entry.
