'Smart money' keeps its ears tuned to options trading for whisperings of market-rattling events. Whether it's unexpected market, earnings, or product news, M&A activity, scandal or something more, the tell-tale signs are almost always seen first in the options market.

People who have unique information tip their intentions by accumulating calls or puts in unusual volumes, typically on the offer. 'Unusual' option trading activity could mean volume is significantly greater than in previous sessions. It could be the ratio of calls and puts. Whatever the scenario, something strange calls attention to a certain option class.

The catalyst for this noteworthy option trading activity is often an investor or group of investors who are 'in the know,' positioning themselves ahead of an announcement or news event. Hedge funds, mutual funds or other large institutions could be hedging but more frequently they are using options for leveraged investments and/or anonymity.

In these cases, options can be your path to playing with the big boys—if you know what you are doing.

Let optionMONSTER® help you get there. Our co-founders, Pete and Jon ('DRJ') Najarian, two top professionals who made their money in the trading pits of Chicago, invite you to join them in an exclusive world of market intelligence.

Each day Jon and Pete craft a blog we call InsideOptions™. Think of it as a real-time, virtual seat at the trading desk that looks over the Najarians' shoulders as they go about their business.

InsideOptions™ Piggybacking the 'Smart Money'
