| June 12, 2012 | 0 Comments More

Potash (POT) adds $1 to $38.38 amid strength in the fertilizer names following a bullish USDA June WASDE report released this morning. Options on POT are very actively traded and the flow includes a Jun 30 – Jan 25 calls rpead, bought for $5.61, 9400X. It appears to roll a positoin in deep in-the-money Jun 30 calls, which have 23K in open interest and the largest open interest position in the name, to a similar position in even deeper in-the-money Jan 25 calls. The spread has traded 22,500X and is a somewhat unusual rolling activity. They must be really high on POT. That’s what I’m saying.
