VistaPrint NV (VPRT) $29.43 +0.24%
VistaPrint (VPRT), the Netherlands-based provider of design and printing services, is up a nickel to $29.41 and a three-way spread is initiated when an investor apparently sold the Sep 27.5 – 35 strangle at 75 cents to help finance the purchase of Jan 37.5 calls at $1.10, 2400X so far. A similar spread traded Monday, 3150X, where the Sep 30 – 37.5 strangle traded at 85 cents and Jan 40 calls at $1.25. These positions look opening and seem to reflect expectations for rangebound trading through the September expiration, before rallying through mid-January 2011. Shares plummeted 36.3 percent when the company reported earnings on 7/29 and have remained under pressure ever since.
