Bullish Traders Reveal $3M Earnings Bet on Wells Fargo

by | Oct 12, 2022 | Options

Markets edged higher but were unable to break out Wednesday… 

Traders moved to the sidelines as Wall Street held its breath for another ride on the latest inflation numbers set to drop Thursday morning.

As a result, we didn’t see much order flow… But for once, I’m happy to have the boring banks reporting earnings this week!

Financial titan Wells Fargo is slated for an Oct. 14 premarket release, and at least one deep-pocketed trader out there is excited for it…

At lunchtime, my scanners spotted an institutional call buyer back up the truck and grab about 6,250 contracts of the March 17, 2023, expiration, $40 strike calls for around $3 million in premium!

Of course, that wasn’t the only monster trade hitting the tape Wednesday…

  • Tellurian Inc. (NYSE American: TELL): Jan. 20, 2023, $2.50 CALL. 
  • Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC): March 17, 2023, $40 CALL.
  • Micron Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: TM): Oct. 28, $54 CALL. 

Check out my short video and I’ll break down the day’s most unusual options order flow in no time flat! 

P.S. There’s something on my mind that I’ve been dying to share…

Something that can be used by traders and investors of all skill levels. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re a day trader, options trader, swing trader, a casual investor or if you’re just getting started in the stock market.

It spits out buy and sell signals based on the real reasons stocks move up and down…

And I think it could influence your trading month in a BIG way.

A friend of mine sent me this chart about three months ago. I should probably print it and keep it in my wallet next to a photo of my daughter. Given the sheer number of questions I’ve fielded lately, I’ll probably end up showing this chart more than her picture.
