Calls Purchased on Hatteras Financial (HTS)

Shares of Hatteras Financial Corp HTS are higher on the session by 4.12%, currently trading $26.54. The stock has been drifting lower for the better part of six months, though looks like it is trying to make a run above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. I am detecting bullish call buying in the name today as well with the November $30 call purchased on the offer over 1,600 times today on open interest of only 857 contracts. Hatteras Financial Corp. is an externally managed mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT). The Company invests primarily in adjustable-rate and hybrid adjustable-rate single-family residential mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed or issued by a United States Government agency.
