US Airways Group Inc (LCC) $9.32 +7.87%
Big prints in US Airways (LCC). Shares hit 52-week high and are up 77 cents to $9.41 amid relative strength in the airlines after BofA/Merrill reininstated LCC, UAUA/CAL, ALK, and LUV with Buy ratings. In LCC options, recent trades include a June 10 – 11 call spread apparently sold at 21 cents (28900X25900), which appears to be a roll of a bullish position opened in late May. Open interest in the June 10s is 30K and the contract traded at 23 cents, 25700X on May 26. Also traded today: a block of 21450 Jul 12 calls traded at the 32-cent asking price. It might be the same player — selling to close the June 10s at a 22-cent per contract profit, and then buying to open new positions in Jun 11s and Jul 12 calls.
