As we reported back in early March put buying in GE has been abnormally heavy. We’re seeing the trend pick up steam this week as the put/call ratio in GE rises over 3:1. Put buyers have purchased almost 75,000 of the April $10′s. Buying in the options was at a 30:1 ratio today. Someone is betting on at least a 10%+ drop in GE heading into earnings.






FYI – major protection buying in CDS loand last week (see DTCC data) – maybe someone knows something we do not…
Appreciate the heads up.
