McMoRan Exploration Co (MMR) $9.91 -1.29%
McMoran Moran (MMR) loses 14 cents to $9.90 and options volume on the New Orleans, LA oil and gas company is running 4X the daily average, being driven by three-way spreads. Looks like Jul 7 puts are being sold on the stock at 12 cents, to by Aug 13 – 15 call spreads for 21 cents, 3500X on CBOE. 7500 traded total and appears to be opening activity — perhaps a “cheap” way, at only 9 cents, to play the stock for additional gains after a two-week 15.7 percent advance.
