Insight In Most Active Options (PG, HUN, GE)

November 3, 2008 by Douglas A. McIntyre

We have evaluated several options trades today which struck us as rather unusual and may be indicative of speculative bets.  We have put links through to each full story over at VSInvestor.com where we identify selected volume spike equity trading as well as unusual options trading.   Here is today’s list of unusual options trading:

Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG) massive trading recently looks like synthetic short selling.

Traders appear to be betting on a settlement in the Apollo-led Hexcion buyout of Huntsman Corp. (NYSE: HUN).

General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) appears to be seeing speculative buying in call option.
