Dan Nathan Sees Unusual Options Activity In Salesforce

On CNBC's "Options Action," Dan Nathan spoke about unusually high options activity in Salesforce.com, inc. CRM. He said there was a lot of rolling activity on Monday as traders were rolling out from higher strike calls and rolling them down to strikes that are closer to the money. Calls were more active than puts on Monday as they outnumbered them three to one.

The company is going to report earnings on Tuesday and the options market is implying a move of 5.5 percent in either direction. Its average move over the last four quarters was 4.25 percent.
