My routine on Fridays here at Barchart.com is to discuss two or three potential options to buy or sell. For today’s piece, I’ll focus on potential income opportunities.
As I write this early in Friday’s session, option volume is steady, if not spectacular, at 13.7 million. That compares with the average daily options volume of 40.4 million. Moreover, the put/call divide is split between 45% puts and 55% calls. It’s a sign investors are slightly bearish at the moment, but nothing crazy.
