Retails stocks have seen a lot of options action lately including Starbucks (SBUX). The coffee giant normally trades about 55,000 options a day, but saw nearly double that on a day last week when the stock was up about 2%. Over 80% of the action was in calls, which tends to be a bullish sign. […]
Dear Reader, “It’s different this time” might be the four of the most dangerous words in investing. Market crashes occur when investors believe that traditional valuation metrics no longer apply.

ON Semiconductor (ON) shares have been on a roll this month after announcing a blowout quarter that exceeded Wall Street’s forecasts. The company is a leading supplier of power and analog semiconductors, as well as imaging sensors—a white-hot market of late. One of the biggest developments to ON’s solid quarter was the company’s concentrated effort […]

However, one trader used this opportunity to enter a covered call trade. The trader purchased 1.35 million shares of CSCO (at $51.77) while selling 13,500 calls that […]
There’s been a crazy amount of options action in recent days in the electric vehicle industry. Lucid Group (LCID) is one of the latest EV stocks to get lots of attention by traders. The new company has a market cap larger than Ford (F), at least for the time being. On a day when over […]
