STOCK & OPTIONS ALERT in Energy Conversion (ENER, AMAT)

Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENER) is surging again, on the same reason it surged before…. buyout rumors, with Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT) listed as the rumored buyer.  Many have pointed out that this would mark a directional-change for Applied as they are generally farther up the supply-side of the chain.  Nonetheless, it is a rumor that has been there before… Caveat Emptor.

Gartner Hit on Secondary (IT)

Gartner Inc. (NYSE: IT) is not your usual pre-market mover.  At 8:29 AM EST we have shares trading down 6.7% at $17.10 after a $18.34 close Wednesday.  The company has a secondary offering coming of 8 million shares being sold by Silver Lake.  None of the proceeds from the sale by Silver Lake will go to Gartner.  We have yet to see a pricing in SEC filings but that will price either this morning or tonight.  The 52-week range is $8.33 to $20.27 and the average daily volume is only 330,000 shares.

Options/Stock Volume Spike in Affymetrix (AFFX)

Affymetrix Inc. (NASDAQ: AFFX) saw high trading in the stock and in the options today.  The stock was up all day on hopes that it could be the next takeover in the biohealth and life sciences sector, although nothing definitive seems to be on the table.  Call options trading was high with the DEC09 $5 CALLS trading 2,057 contracts versus an open interest of 625 contracts.  What is interesting here on that is the DEC09 options expire in just 9 days now.  The stock closed up 13.5% at $5.38 on an unofficial closing bell basis on 2.79 million shares.  Average volume is 1.08 million shares and the 52-week trading range is $1.78 to $10.06.
