(NASDAQ: AAPL) is seeing more stock option trading interest today in its stock options on a fully leveraged basis than its shares are seeing. The stock volume is actually anemic at 4.53 million shares as of 12:05 PM EST when a normal trading day’s volume is 17.5 million shares.
Here is the CALL option volume of the JAN-2011 CALLS:
