Sequenom (SQNM) is up 56 cents to $5.89 and directional sentiment in the options market seems somewhat bullish, with 9750 calls and 1600 puts traded. Mar, April, June 7s are the most actives. Mar 6 calls are seeing interest as well. The top trade is a block of 1607 Apr 7 calls on ISE, which is an opening customer buyer, according to ISEE data. In fact, 3137 calls, or 89 percent of the total volume, have been bought to open on the ISE so far today. Meanwhile, implied volatility is up about 12 percent to 106 ahead of presentations this week at the 4th Asia Pacific Nutrigenomics conference. Earnings expected soon as well, but nothing yet on the company’s web site. (Note: the Flow Monitor has today, after market, as the earnings release date. While this info is accurate 99 percent of the time, it makes sense to double check the date before initiating a trade on this information alone.)
