Continental Lifted by Merger's Regulatory Approval

Continental Airlines (CAL - option chain) shares are rising today after the US Justice Department said over the weekend that it has no more antitrust concerns about CAL's proposed merger with UAL Corp. (UAUA). Now the merger only needs to gain approval from UAUA and CAL shareholders as well as the Transportation Department. The deal is expected to close by October 1. If you think that the stock won't fall by too much in the coming months, then now could be a good time to look at a bullish hedged trade on CAL.

CAL opened this morning at $22.23. So far today the stock has hit a low of $22.02 and a high of $25.99. As of 12:20, CAL is trading at $22.09 up 0.29 (1.3%). The chart for CAL looks bullish and S&P gives CAL a positive 5 STARS (out of 5) strong buy ranking.
