Looks like a different writter this time. Regardless, very grateful Andrew & Rebecca. Thank you.
The info is stale, so we have to look for bigger trends / news on these stocks..
High-res charts are linked BELOW every chart.
CAT
Grew revenues by 8% and converted that into a net income gain of 22%
Lower 2007 profit guidance from the company
Caterpillar reiterated its 2010 goals; Capitalize on key areas outside of the United States
The options bought on this are useless and non-insitutional.
I gave this stock as my trade of the day yesterday (or by time I post this, 2 days ago), but the charts are not stale. Feel free to go to my website about this.
CPNO – It’s up to you if you want to play this. I don’t endorse stocks that trade under 1/2M.
Either way: 20,000 lots traded in the December 40 calls at a price of $0.35
I’m posting the daily chart only, because sharks can easily manipulate stocks like these w/o even touching the option markets.

XLF – Same trade as MER practically.
QLGC
"option volume is nearly 5 times the daily average, and it looks like traders are availing themselves of a 100% increase in premiums by taking profits in the January 15 and 17.50 calls. Calls in the November contract were bought at the more circumspect strikes of 12.50 and 15."
