Humana calls sizzling due to takeover chatter

Shares and call activity in Humana HUM, are sizzling in our system this morning due to chatter that Aetna AET, will make a bid for the company. According to our option trading software, more than 30,000 calls have been traded in the March contract with option buyers focusing on the March 25 and 30 call strikes. Calls are being bought aggressively, pushing implied volatility and the offer up. This is more chatter and noise coming from the options market and an idea we wouldn't trade.
