Intel Corporation (INTC) $25.08 -0.24%
Intel (INTC) is down 15 cents to $24.99 and one of 16 Dow stocks trading lower, as trading has turned mixed late-Monday. One player in the options market seems to be thowing in the towel on hopes for a rally in the chipmaker and sold 43,000 August 28 calls on Intel at 23 cents per contract. The hefty block of calls probably offsets a position opened last week when 43,000 were bought for 47 cents (see 5/29 color). The inital trade was tied to 990K shares at $26.13. The stock is down 4.4 percent since that time.
