From the options action I see, says Jon Najarian, I’m not seeing investors betting Lehman will go higher. They’re merely betting on stabilization.

He also tells our Becky Quick that he has been adding recently to one of the two stakes Berkshire Hathaway already has in a pair of financial stocks, American Express (AXP) or Wells Fargo (WFC)although he wouldn't say which. I think it’s American Express, muses Jon Najarian, because I’m seeing twice the options action in Amex than Wells Fargo.
