CINCINNATI--(Business Wire)--
Optimistic options speculators centered on CVS Caremark Corporation (NYSE: CVS)
on Tuesday, as Americans become more anxious about the swine flu. According to
data from WhatsTrading.com, the pharmacy concern saw nearly 13,250 calls cross
the tape - 4.5 times its average daily volume of fewer than 3,000 contracts. 

Most popular was the stock's May 30 call, which saw almost 5,000 contracts
change hands. However, the 32.50 strike remains home to peak call open interest
in the front-month series, with about 18,800 contracts in residence.
