How busy was Altria’s (MO) options trading on Wednesday? It had no less than 11 puts or calls exhibiting unusual options activity -- a Vol/OI ratio of 1.25x or higher -- with volumes of 10,000 or more on five of them.
Something is up. It’s been two years since Altria experienced volume like yesterday’s. I’m guessing big hitters picked up long-duration calls, given that the put/call ratio was 0.02.
