Micron Tech Elevated Options Trading (MU)

Micron Technology Inc. (NYSE: MU) is a chaser stock today with teh stock at fresh 52-week highs.  There is options activity in the stock, some of which may be roll-out activity as this is the first day without the DEC-2009 options any longer, and some is chasing the gains elsewhere in tech and chips after an Intel upgrade.  There are some probably using the “buyout rumor” out there, although we would caution on that in the case of Micron.  If a giant wanted to buy it, it could have been done far cheaper when times were tougher.  At 1:11 PM EST we have shares up 5.7% at $9.29 on 21.6 million shares.  Average volume is 25.6 million shares and the 52-week trading range is 2.12 to $9.28 (now).  Here is the options trading in the name (C-Call; P-Put):
