JNCE - major call buying "way" out of the money - buy on pull back - plus $250 million shelf offering announced

Before their earnings announcement yesterday JNCE was trading at $22. Substantial buying has surfaced in the June 15 expiry at the $30 and $35 strikes. JNCE spiked to $28.50 up 30% and then settled back to close.

JNCE has a major deal with Celgene for $200 million. That said they still retain 60% of their future growth. This setup looks a lot like MYOK. The presence of out of the money call buying adds a little sizzle to an already good story.

In the last several days 4,000 Jun 15 $35 strike call contracts have been purchased for around $5. This indicates the buyers are looking for prices well north of $40 by June.

While they may not "need" funding , JNCE is taking the opportunity to raise funds with the stock price on the rise (smart management):
