We have evaluated several options trades today which struck us as rather unusual and may be indicative of speculative bets. We have put links through to each full story over at VSInvestor.com where we identify selected volume spike equity trading as well as unusual options trading. Here is today’s list of unusual options trading:
Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG) massive trading recently looks like synthetic short selling.
Traders appear to be betting on a settlement in the Apollo-led Hexcion buyout of Huntsman Corp. (NYSE: HUN).
General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) appears to be seeing speculative buying in call option.

Start by taking a quick retirement quiz from SmartAsset that will match you with up to 3 financial advisors that serve your area and beyond in 5 minutes, or less.
Each advisor has been vetted by SmartAsset and is held to a fiduciary standard to act in your best interests.
Here’s how it works:
1. Answer SmartAsset advisor match quiz
2. Review your pre-screened matches at your leisure. Check out the advisors’ profiles.
3. Speak with advisors at no cost to you. Have an introductory call on the phone or introduction in person and choose whom to work with in the future
