Options Alert in Terra-Agrium-CF Merger Saga (TRA, CF, AGU)

Terra Industries Inc. (NYSE: TRA) is seeing a lot of options action today with 17,164 calls trading as of 2:00 PM EST, and 45% offer side buying with shares at $35.65.  Interestingly enough, a trader bought 5,000 November $40 calls at 35 cents on a 25-40 spread, a bullish bias.  Another large buyer of December $39 calls came in around 1:20pm for 5,000 calls at the offer.  Implied volatility is gaining 7% today to 60% as holders are urged to reject CF Industries’ (NYSE: CF) latest takeover offer.  The current offer would give a value around $40 for Terra shares.  This is occurring as CF is busy rejecting Agrium’s (NYSE: AGU) raised takeover offer.  It appears the with this trading today we may get some clarity soon on the M&A saga, a possibly a bid Terra can not resist.
