Options Education:
___________________________
Today's options activity is heaviest at the April 24 and 25 strikes, where more than 12,000 calls traded in the first 30 minutes of today's session, according to OptionMonster's tracking systems. That is more than double the average contract volume for a full day, and the April 24 call volume was 10 times open interest of just 566 contracts.
The April options do expire Friday, however, and will be worthless if the stock is under the $24 and $25 strike prices of those contracts.
