The stock is well below its high of $15.45 from exactly a year ago but has rallied back sharply from its $4.77 low of early July.

Today's option trading is decidedly bullish, with almost all of it taking place at in the November 10 calls. Nearly 2,200 calls changed hands at the strike, dwarfing the open interest of 47 contracts and zero average daily volume.

Most of the calls traded in a strong buying pattern for $0.15 to $0.25, according to OptionMonster's real-time tracking systems. For those options to turn a profit before they expire in mid-November, the stock will need to rise at least 28 percent.
