Sun-Oracle EU Block May Have Flaws (JAVA)

Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) is soaring early this morning.  Reuters ran a headline last night that an activist lawyer sees a flaw in teh EU case.  Yeah, like maybe the notion that Sun can’t make money alone with its open source issues…. At any rate we have shares up strongly this morning.  At 8:13 AM EST the stock is up 7% at $8.81 on almost 4 million shares.  Average volume here is 14 million shares.  This is not a done deal yet, but the EU’s case is proving to make the regulatory body look less and less credible here.

Huntsman Options Trading Explosion (HUN, DD)

Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) is seeing a surge in options activity.  There have been 30,698 calls traded, 15X average, and implied volatility is spiking 44% on rumors that Dupont (NYSE: DD) is looking at a possible $18 offer for shares of the company.  The action has been  extremely bullish with block buyers in calls at the offer ahead of the rumor and continuing now in strikes as high as the January $13 calls.  Shares trade 1.45X cash value and look very cheap on valuation.

This deal appears to fit in with some deals of the past and it is worth noting that Huntsman was a busted private equity acquisition where Hexion Specialty Chemicals was originally going to acquire the company for about $28.00 per share.  Shares are also up almost 8% at $10.70 and the 4.5 million share average volume has now been crossed at 11:25 AM EST.

Stem Cell Players Giving Some Back (GERN, STEM, OPXA)

Geron Corporation (NASDAQ: GERN), StemCells Inc. (NASDAQ: STEM), and Opexa Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPXA) are all playing give-back this morning on the heels of monster gains yesterday due to the National Institutes of Health approving new embryonic stem cell lines.

At 8:39 AM EST we have GERN down 2.9% at $6.02 on 80,000 shares, STEM down 5.4% at $1.40 on 695,000 shares, and OPXA is down 10% at $2.86 on 35,000 shares.  As a reminder, the NIH did say that it would be making a new announcement on stem cell line approvals after 96 lines were submitted…. and that deadline is tomorrow, so these may all swing wildly yet again.
