As I write this Thursday, minutes before the markets open, today’s action will be slightly brighter than yesterday. The Dow lost 1,100 points (2.7%), its 10th consecutive down day, the worst streak for the index since the 1970s.
Whatever today brings, I couldn’t help but notice Dynatrace (DT) had two unusually active options in yesterday’s trading. The software provider for application performance management has not had a good year in the markets. Its shares are up just 1.4%, considerably less than the 28% gain for the Nasdaq 100.
