The Options Insider Radio Network

On this midday Friday, August 29th edition of the Hot Options Report, the hosts cover a day of market sell-offs across the major indices. The VIX is up, reflecting increased volatility, with significant activity in its October 31 calls. The show breaks down the top tickers seeing explosive options action, with a notable theme being the aggressive buying of out-of-the-money calls in major tech names like TSLA and NVDA, despite the overall market downtrend. The top 10 single-name stocks are dominated by companies with recent earnings reports, including Marvell (MRVL) and Baba (BABA). The episode wraps up by noting the need for a significant market reversal in the second half of the day for many of these bullish bets to pay off.
