Cramer said in a video this afternoon on TheStreet.com that this Dendreon (DNDN-NASDAQ) is a classic case of short sellers not covering themselves by not buying calls with the strikes above.

Incyte Corp (INCY-NASDAQ) and Nastech Pharma (NSTK-NASDAQ) are two that Cramer thinks could make similar type of moves down the road.

NSTK has a $283 million market cap; at $11.10 it is still closer to the lower-part of its 52-week trading range of $9.50 to $19.98; about 16% of its float is short.
INCY has a $636 million market cap. At $7.55 it is close to the top of 52-week highs of $7.81 ($3.67 52-week lows). INCY’s long-dated options do not have large open interest positions, but about 10.8% of its float is short.
