Most Active Stock Options July 31, 2009

Today the top ten most active stock option contracts were:

1. Citigroup (NYSE:C) August 3 Call Option
2. Citigroup August 4 Call Option
3. PowerShares QQQ (NASDAQ:QQQQ) August 40 Put Option
4. Target (NYSE:TGT) Januray 2011 35 Call Option
5. Target January 2011 60 Call Option
6. Ford (NYSE:F) August 8 Call Options
7. SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) August 90 Put Options
8. PowerShares QQQ August 40 Call Options
9. PowerShares QQQ August 39 Put Options
10. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) August 15 Call Options

Looks like someone is speculating heavy with the Leap 2011 Target (NYSE:TGT) options. I am guessing an option spread was open to buy the in the money Leap 11 35 calls and sell the Leap 11 60 Calls. The Target activity could be that someone is speculating that the consumer will behave differently by January 2011. Sphere: Related Content
