(NYSE: PFE) is seeing a very early expiration roll so far in August, right ahead of earnings. The stock is generally one of the less volatile out there.

The stock has been bound since the end of 2008 in a $15.00 to $20.00 price range, except during the peak of the selling (and immediate aftermath) of early 2009. http://www.theoptionsinsider.com/UnusualActivity/?id=5086 http://www.theoptionsinsider.com/UnusualActivity/?id=5086 Wed, 4 Aug 2010 10:05:00 GMT A roundup of activity in the futures market - Follow the Leader http://www.theoptionsinsider.com/UnusualActivity/?id=5087 http://www.theoptionsinsider.com/UnusualActivity/?id=5087 Wed, 4 Aug 2010 12:26:00 GMT Options Intelligence Report for Encore Energy Partners, LP (ENP) and Procter and Gamble Co.
