Options action in the XHB (XHB) September 17 calls suggests to me big investors are betting on stabilization in the housing sector, perhaps on Bernanke’s comments. Also I noticed a late day surge in copper, again a potential reaction to Bernanke’s testimony. - Guy Adami

I like Discover Financial Services (DFS). They’ve underperformed as compared to their peers. And options traders are buying the May-10 calls which suggests this stock could move higher. - Pete Najarian
