CINCINNATI--(Business Wire)--
Call volume on Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: MRVL) has been rampant
recently, as investors place their bets ahead of the semiconductor concern's

During the past couple of weeks, speculators on the International Securities
Exchange (ISE) have bought to open more than eight times as many calls than puts
on MRVL. What's more, the stock's ISE 10-day call/put volume ratio of 8.23 ranks
in the 81st annual percentile, implying that option players on the exchange have
been more bullishly biased toward MRVL only 19% of the time during the past
year.
