The Hot Options Report: 10-12-2026

Chip stocks lose ground while Meta and Apple push higher. On this episode, we break down the day's busiest stock options, led by Nvidia, Tesla, Meta, Apple and Micron.

Nvidia takes the top spot with an unusual wave of January put activity that could point to a trade positioned for a steep decline. Meanwhile, Meta rallies despite the social media reckoning discussed on the show, Micron tumbles, and Apple moves closer to its record high. We also examine how several popular same-day options expired worthless—even when the underlying stocks rallied.

Plus, we explore QuikOptions' congressional trading tools, including a closer look at stock purchases and sales by Maria Elvira Salazar and Lloyd Doggett.
