Rebecca Engmann Darst contributed to this report. Elan (ELN)  - “Weekus horribilis” for drugmaker Elan took hold today after its multiple-sclerosis drug Tysabri was implicated in new cases of a lethal brain infection. Coming hot on the heels of another product disappointment – underwhelming data on a much hoped-for Alzheimer’s drug in development – Elan Corp shares were stripped of 43.6% of their value $11.26. The collapse put paid to options traders who believed this week’s first selloff would find some support at the $20 level – earlier this week we observed a good number of traders selling $20 August puts in a bet that the first selloff of the week was overdone. The magnitude of today’s surprise is perhaps best articulated by its implied volatility reading, which spiked 111% to 123.3% - more than any other company today. More than 263,000 options have traded in the first half hour of the market, with a slight volume privilege to calls. As we observed earlier this week, traders are playing both sides of the selloff, with two-way traffic in excess of open interest in August calls at strikes 12.50-19 and in puts at strikes 10-15.    Complete Story » ...

Rebecca Engmann Darst contributed to this report. Lehman Brothers ( LEH) – Shares in Lehman Brothers bounded sharply out of the gate with a 10% gain to $15.09 on speculation that the firm might be bought by Korea Development Bank. The move in Lehman comes a day after respected analyst Richard Bove floated the notion of Lehman’s vulnerability to a hostile takeover bid, and amid generally bullish action in financials today on back of interest rate-dovish and largely reactive, rather than proactive, rhetoric from Fed chairman Ben Bernanke speaking in Jackson Hole.  Response from option traders has been interesting, not least in the October contract, where one fund a trader appears to have played against the “easy-fix” rumors by buying a long 8870-lot put spread between strikes 2.50 and 5.00. This trade was entered for a 25-cent debit, creating an initial break even of $4.75 – requiring an almost disastrous $10 drop. The trader stands to gain as much as $2.25 – 9 times the money at risk – if Lehman shares make a cataclysmic drop, but don’t break below the $2.50 level. In another October play, traders may have sold 27-strike calls at 22 cents apiece in order to fund a long collar between strikes 12.50 and 20 – a protective play on an underlying stock position that would otherwise cost 33 cents to put on.

You can read about the other top tech stock picks here . "Technically, Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL ) is now set up nicely in a base for a breakout," says Leo Fasciocco , a technical analyst who specializes in stocks breaking out above previous resistance levels. In his Ticker Tape Digest , the newsletter advisor explains, "ORCL is in a good spot to be accumulated for a breakout, supported by favorable earnings prospects. And as a big cap play, it is most suitable for conservative investors." "Oracle, based in Redwood City, California, sells a wide range of enterprise software solutions, including databases, middleware, and applications. With annual revenues of $22.4 billion, ORCL is one of the largest software companies. Its updates and product support are the most profitable segment of its operations. It accounts for 46% of revenues. "The company has an active acquisition program that is a fundamental component of its strategy. ORCL has spent more than $28 billion in acquisitions the last four fiscal years. "The stock's long-term chart shows a powerful run up to 40 during the 2000 bull market. It then went south with the stock market. It has since been working its way back. Short-term, the stock rallied from 18 to 23 and has formed a cup-and-handle base. That type of p ...
