Most Active Stock Options July 17, 2009

The top 10 most active stock option contracts traded today were all for either Citigroup (C) or Bank of America (BAC). Read my blog post 10 Stocks to Watch on July Options Expiration for some possible reasons why. It is unusual that all ten of the most active option contracts were between two stocks. Usually you'll see the S&P 500 SPDR (SPY), Dow Diamonds (DIA), or the PowerShares QQQ (QQQQ) trade in the most actives, but not today on this options expiration Friday. The list of most actives is in order below.
