I need some help understanding why people are buying a significant amount of June, September, and December $7 calls?
The price is "fixed" at $6.44/share whenever the deal closes. So where is the value in these options that I am not seeing? Covering a short position doesn't really make sense to me and I can't see a strong potential for the stock price shooting up above $7 before then (although, I will admit that a better offer is a possibility, but I wouldn't feel comfortable betting hundreds/thousands in options on the possibility...)
Anyone with a theory, I would appreciate the input.
