Most Active Stock Options July 30, 2009

As of today the top ten most active stock option contracts traded are listed below (from most traded to least).

1. Citigroup (C) August 3 Call Option
2. Citigroup August 5 Put Option
3. Citigroup December 3 Call Option
4. Citigroup August 3 Put Option
5. Citigroup August 5 Call Option
6. Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA) August 45 Call Options
7. SPDR Financial (XLF) August 12 Call Options
8. SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) August 100 Call Options
9. Citigroup August 10 Call Options
10. Citigroup September 4 Call Options

The reason Plains All America Pipeline 45 Call options were among the most active is most likely a dividend play, as they spin out $0.905 a share tomorrow. However I find it very strange that the Citigroup Inc. (C) 10 strike August call options were among the most active today. Sphere: Related Content
