The traders highlighted a number of options trading opportunities.

LXK

The volume in the September-40 calls suggests that this stock could go higher, says Najarian.

-
XLF
Financial Sel Spd - $11.99
- -5.22%
- $12.36
Typically that would be seen as a bullish sign; that investors were laying down bets on a recovery in the sector hit hardest by the year-old credit crisis. Yet some option experts cautioned against taking that activity at face value because a hefty portion of that volume came from traders selling near-term call positions, a trade that may well be a bet on more trouble ahead for banks, brokers and insurance companies.

Wells Fargo & Co - $25.87
- -6.06%

Increased volume in the October 34 calls suggests to Najarian Wells Fargo (WFC) could go higher.
