Tibco Software is trading near multi-year lows, but some traders are betting on a rebound.
optionMONSTER's Heat Seeker system shows that 2,170 June 20 calls have been purchased this morning for an average price of $0.63. This is clearly fresh buying, as the volume was far above the strike's open interest of just 34 contracts before the trades appeared.
TIBX is up 1.41 percent to $19.05 this morning. The business-infrastructure company has been trending lower since trading above $32 last September and gapped down from above $23 last month after its last earnings report. The stock fell to $18.18 last Friday, its lowest intraday price since October 2010.
Today's long calls , which lock in a $20 purchase price for the stock, can provide significant leverage if TIBX rallies above that level by mid-June. These options could be sold earlier at a profit if their premiums rise before then, but they will expire worthless if the stock remains below that strike price. (See our Education section)
