    Question from reader: any insight into the call activity on the weeklies in GOOG, IBM MSFT this morning?

  2. fredruffy says:

    Answer: Looking at the most actives, the activity seems to express a view that further gains are in store this week. For example, in GOOG, the most active weekly contacts are the 620 and 630 calls. MSFT most active Weekly is the $32 calls. In IBM, it’s the 200 strike. All four contracts are out-of-the-money (upside) calls and it seems that buyers are driving a lot of the flow, which indicates positioning for a move higher in the underlying before the weekend.
