Continental (NYSE: CAL) closed at $28.70 Thursday.

CAL and United Airlines (NYSE: UAUA) are in advanced negotiations and could complete a combination quickly if Delta (NYSE: DAL) and Northwest Airlines (NYSE: NWA) strike a deal, says Dow Jones.

WTI Crude oil is recently up .12% to $95.57 according to Bloomberg.

CAL March option implied volatility of 71 is above its 26-week average of 58 according to Track Data, suggesting larger price movement.
