Stock Options Explosion in Goldman Sachs (GS)
Published:
Last Updated:
Trying to count options contracts in shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) is nearly impossible, and this was copied from trade blotters with snapshots of 12:12 to 12:18 PM EST. The notion that today is options expiration date already posted is only adding fuel to the fire… or is it a pyre? There are well over 50 million shares traded and shares were down 13% around the $160.00 mark at last look. After tallying up the options traded, it is well over 300,000 options contracts. On a fully leveraged basis, that would be more than 30 million shares more.
