In Monday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take another look at energy stock Occidental Petroleum as oil prices continue to soar as a result of the war in Ukraine.
With oil heading toward prices the market hasn’t seen in 15 years along with ridiculous volatility, energy names are flooding the Blitz Tracker to start the week…
One name that continues to stand out is our good friend and weekend watchlist member Occidental Petroleum, which hit new 52-weeks highs in the premarket before pulling back 18% by midday.
The massive price swing only seemed to encourage bullish options traders as several big bets hit the Blitz Tracker during Monday’s session. Our scanner spotted one trader sweeping up around 1,000 contracts of the March 18 $60 strike calls for more than $215,000 in premium!
And if the oil market is too wild for your taste, I have two more top trades burning up Monday’s tape…
- Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY): March 18 $60 CALL.
- CBOE Global Markets Inc. (BATS: CBOE): March 18 $117 PUT.
- Pinterest Inc. (PINS): Sept. 16 $30 CALL.
