Nevyn, If you look at today's trading pattern for the stock quote.yahoo.com you'll see the timing of the trade of the large options block coincides exactly with when the stock was pulled down before it went back up again. Now how could someone know it was time to buy if the stock was dropping? And, what a coincidence that the stock pulled back up right after the trades were done. Pure coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. I've seen weird things happen with stocks but this is another one of those "but of course" once it's all said and done. They did buy at a cheaper price. Most of those Nov 16 traded at 2pm and traded below yesterday's close $1.45. Oh, btw, maybe I'm wrong, but, someone had to sell at or near the bid (which was lower than yesterday's close for the option) rather than someone buying at the ask. Right? That's how you get the lowest price on a trade. Someone bought and someone sold. Hmmm... I think we need Sherlock Holmes to resolve this story of riddles.
