The "Fast Money" traders have observed some unusual options activity in a number of stocks.

  • $12.79

The July 25 calls were extremely active in Goodyear Tire (GT) explains Pete Najarian. I think options traders are playing off GM and Ford sales. I know that sounds counter-intuitive because car sales were dismal in North America, but they were decent overseas.
