Weekend Review: Options Flag in FormFactor (FORM)

FormFactor Inc. (NASDAQ: FORM) is not a highly active stock by almost any measure for almost any stock exchange.  It is also not an active stock in the realm of options trading.  In our weekend review, this one stood out handily for a stock that has rarely, if ever, crossed our path for big weekend stock and options trading screens.     Yet we saw over 11,000 contracts trade hands on Friday, and it was sneaky because the trades were one-sided and all the way out to APRIL-2010 in the CALL options. Here are the trades in the APRIL-2010 CALLS:

CALL$    Volume Op.Int.
20.00    6,880     25
22.50      125        25
25.00    5,592     96

What is odd is that those two trades were bigger than the open interest of all the seen CALL options from now until then combined.  That even includes the SEPT-2009 options which expired.   This stock closed down 0.45% at $24.34 on 684,832 shares.  That is barely above average of about 585,000 shares.  Its market cap is $1.2 billion and the 52-week trading range is $11.36 to $26.08.

Origin Agritech Gets China Pact (SEED)

Origin Agritech Limited (NASDAQ: SEED) announced that its Origin Biotechnology unit reached a worldwide agreement with the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Sichuan Biotech Engineering, Limited.  Those two will jointly own the rights to an internally developed gene which is highly tolerant to glyphosate herbicide. This glyphosate-tolerance gene is entirely new to the consumer markets in that it has never been commercialized, and is protected by patents granted separately by China and USA separately.  SEED is surging on the news.  At the open we have a gain of almost 10% at $5.25 on 87,000 shares versus average volume of 120,000.  The 52-week high is $6.31. -Jon C.

US Bancorp Runs on Rochdale/Bove (USB)

US Bancorp (NYSE: USB) is up but is surprisingly not getting as much attention as we would have expected.  At 8:51 AM EST we have only seen 18,000 shares trade hands versus an average volume of 17 million shares.  The gain is only 1.5% at $23.15.  The news that is out is that Rochdale’s Dick Bove upgraded his old Neutral rating to a new BUY rating. The old $25 target was hiked to $28 as well.  Shares are still up over 100% from its March lows, but we would be looking for stock upside and a volume spike here as the open gets closer. JON OGG
