Williams Companies Inc (WMB) $29.20 -0.88%
Williams Companies (WMB) is off 22 cents to $29.24, even as natural gas prices rally 8 percent on bullish weekly inventory data. Recent options trades on the natural gas producer include a three-way spread, in which the stategist bought June 26 – 32 put spreads on WMB and sold 32,000 July 32 puts, collecting 21 cents, 21000X, and probably rolling a position out one month to avoid assignment on the in-the-money Jun 32 puts at expiration. Shares notched 52-week highs of $34.28 on May 1, but have been trending (14.8%) lower since that time. The company presents at a BofA conference on Jun 19 and will release earnings again on Aug 1.
