Jon Najarian has spotted unusual options activity in a top pharma name and an under the radar communications company.

What does he make of it?

Pharma

According to The Option Monster, there’s been a lot of buying of the January 35 calls in Endo Pharma.

“Somebody is looking – and we have their time frame – 60 days out someone thinks there will be upside.”

Communications

Also Najarian says CenturyLink landed on his radar due to unusual call volume. “I’m a buyer of this one,” he tells us.
