The traders highlighted some unusual options activity in a number of stocks.

-
XLI
Industrial Spdr - $26.64
- +2.58%
- $26.22
Lee asked the panel for some downside-protection ideas after a robust April. Najarian said he's seen heavy activity in downside puts in the Industrial SPDR(XLI) from some people who want to have some protection in place in May.

-
XLY
Consumer Dis Ss S - $27.85
- 0.00%
- $N/A
Najarian said the same downside put strategy is being employed with the Discretionary SPDR(XLY) which 55,000 downside puts purchased Wednesday.

-
XHB
Spdr Homebuilders - $14.44
- +2.41%
- $14.18
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

-
DFS
Discover Fin Svcs - $14.53
- 0.00%
- $N/A
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
