Re:FLC option strike price

Phillip and Robert,

I own the old CDG Feb 25 call (CDGBE). They are now converted to DXGBE (1-for-1). That means the strike price is not 25, but rather
14.7 (= 25/1.7, with 1.7 being the merge ratio).
I believe not too many people know this, as the call price plummeted right after the conversion.

My 2 cents,

Phillip,

Yes, ...you are right. DXGEV is the symbol. ...You are also right about the June 12.5's being much lower. ... Very strange isn't it.??
It's been that way for the past 3 weeks. When you see strange things
there's $$ to be made.

Phillip you might also note that the May 15's closed a point higher today with open interest jumping 150.

Good Luck ... //Robert

This could all mean that the May 12.5 call is really the May 7 3/8 or 7 1/4 call that could explain the premies of 2 to 3 1/2 and would really limit the upside on this position? dz
