Financials $XLF recent outperformance off 200MA base sees 15K Dec. 2028 $60 calls buy for over $9M
$GMAB 12K Dec 40 calls take profits $6.20
$CART jumped late Friday on M&A reports
10/16 buyer of 3K April 55 calls stood out but also seen plenty happy to sell 55/60 strike calls at implied 58-63 call away level where I imagine a deal would fall
Collinsworth “does not know what happened to Leonard Williams since he came to Seattle”
Let me break it down:
He went from a lousy organization (Jets) to an Elite one
He went from a not so great place to live (NYC) to one of the greatest (Seattle)
$SGRY M&A news on the wire

A few weeks ago we wrote about rate sensitive names starting to look interesting. Since then $SO calls are up over 200%, and the $XEL and $TLT December calls are up around 100%. Sentiment was in the dumps when we wrote about them.
There are a few more names now that look the way those did back then, and looking to get long this week.
Rate Sensitive Names Starting to Look Interesting
The options market is leaning the same way as the fund flows. Treasuries $TLT saw 75,000 September 2027 $86 calls bought near $1.60 last week, close to $12M, along with 80,000 November 30th $83 calls bought at $0.36 and 10,000 December $79 calls bought at $1.88. Utilities took in $1B, the largest inflow since December 2025 per BofA, with Xcel $XEL seeing 900 September 2027 $70 puts sold at $7.00 and Southern $SO 1,350 November $82.50 calls bought at $3.50. In housing, Rocket $RKT had 1,300 June 2027 $12 puts sold at $2.42 and 1,000 March $12 calls bought at $1.95.
I like the housing names here.
$RNG big pop on results A/H, one of many cast away software names on wild runs
Cheap name when wrote it in Aug
A few weeks ago everyone was complaining about the market at record highs but most stocks were way off highs
Now everyone is complaining the market is being sold off but most stocks are rallying
Putting Trump in charge of an economy sensitive to inflation concerns and a budget deficit was like putting the Cookie Monster in charge of security at the Oreo factory
$RSP , S&P Equal Weight, is up 0.4% today and multi-week new high as the weakness is very contained
Q4 rotation been the trade! When we hit Q4 each year, we position for 2027 comps vs. 2026, so selling the things that had huge 2026 years + the earnings season high hurdle effect
