Why call seller is checking Angie's List

Angie's List has been grinding sideways, and one investor is milking income from the name.

optionMONSTER's tracking systems detected the sale of 1,500 March 15 calls for $1.30. An equal number of February 15 calls was purchased at the same time for $1.18, but volume was below open interest in the strike. This suggests that an existing short position was rolled from one contract to the other.

ANGI is up 0.19 percent to $16.02. The company, which lets people rate service providers such as doctors and plumbers, went public on Nov. 17 for $13 a share--the high end of its range. The shares popped the first day of trading but have been range-bound since then.

Today's option action was probably the work of an investor who owns the stock and is selling the calls to earn income . The transaction let them collect an incremental $0.12 of premium and kept them in the position for an additional month. (See our Education section)

Overall option volume is quadruple the daily average so far today.
