Anything going here? ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/75667-china-stocks-april-was-kind?source=feed#comment-166317 166317 We are seeiing activity in Sina Corp as you know less known internet related company than the GOOG, YHOO, BIDU and others, but raises attention every few months. The Market cap is well below those big 3, but like NTES and SOHU, does maintain near a $3 Billion market cap with the growing backdrop of China in the horizon.

your thoughts on this action? ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/73584-notes-on-sherwin-williams-earnings-call?source=feed#comment-166246 166246 We are seeing heavy put action in Sherwin Williams going in to expiration this week, but point out that this appears to be a roll, or calendar spread. When someone has positions in one month and wants to stick with the position for another month, quarter etc, they sell their expiring options and buy the other month, usually at the same strike price. Thus they are "buying time", so this is frequently referred to as a time spread, or calendar spread. It is not indicitive of anyting other than the person(s) want continued protection, and or exposure for longer than their expiring position would provide. It is not the same a fresh money being committed.
Are you still long SHW?

The roll is from the May 55 puts to the June 55 puts and is about 6,000 contracts of each. ]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 11:13:22 -0400 We are seeing heavy put action in Sherwin Williams going in to expiration this week, but point out that this appears to be a roll, or calendar spread.

The calls(right to buy) only have a few days left to expire. Perhaps you would know? Are they a take out target?

Im feeling the $600 rebate check thing how ever we are seeing PUT (right to sell) activity on PSUN. Not only that they moved the earnings date up from 5/21 to 5/8 ahead of the Option expiration and before retail sales numbers. The volatility has been shifted from the June Cycle
