Synchrony Financial is drawing bullish paper.
optionMONSTER's monitoring system detected the purchase of 1,500 May 29.50 calls for $0.70 to $0.73 at the same time on Friday. There was no open interest at the strike before the trade appeared, indicating that this is a new position.
Long calls lock in the price where investors can buy stock, allowing them to profit from a rally with limited capital at risk. Their cheap cost can also generate significant leverage on a percentage basis if shares move in the right direction. (See our Education section)
