DG; I don't have any DEC, just some March calls (I sold,) some time back, But here is some info on the options. ----------- While options on CMO do not trade a lot,( and I'm not writing this to advice any one to play options ) It's just to note that they have become more active. Some times the activity in options can be a tip off. ------------------ From Sept 25th until yesterday DEC 16th The CALL options have added to their open interest 1,845 The Puts have added 116 , to their open interest. This amounts to a 103.71% increase in calls And only a 14.22% increase in puts. ----------------- I'll leave it up to the reader what to make of it. Jim PS I better add total open interest in Calls is almost 4 to 1 over puts.
