  • $26.65

During Monday's "Final Trade" segment, Karen Finerman said she is a buyer of puts in Whole Foods (WFMI). Finerman said she is short Whole Foods Market ahead of its earnings on Tuesday for two reasons: the valuation is very stretched at 32 times and it faces stiff competiton from the likes of Safeway where consumers are trading down. "I don't see how Whole Foods can come in and beat earnings," she said.

I’ve spotted unusual options activity which suggests big investors are betting the market moves another 2%-3% higher, explains Brian Stutland. Personally, I think it means the S&P goes to 1050.

    Proshares Ultrash
  • $7.82
  • +0.39%
  • $7.93

If you think there’s more room in the China pullback, you can play it with the FXP (FXP), counsels Pete Najarian. There was an amazing amount of activity in the September 10 calls. But be advised it’s a double-short ETF.
