The Hot Options Report: 01-14-2026

Is the tech wreck just beginning, or are these "power puts" in Microsoft a sign of a short-term bottom? On today's Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down a high-velocity Wednesday where the "Fruit Company" saw heavy opening flow and MicroStrategy (MSTR) continues to be the primary lightning rod for crypto volatility.

In this episode, we slice through the tape to look at:

• The Top 10 Countdown: From Microsoft (MSFT) giving back to the market gods to Nvidia (NVDA) holding the #1 spot despite lighter volume.

• The Big Tech Sell-Off: Analyzing the massive opening flow in the Meta 670 Puts and the "Power Puts" in MSFT.

• Bucking the Trend: Why AMD and Intel (INTC) managed to rally while the rest of the sector saw red.

• The Apple Play: A deep dive into the AAPL $260 At-The-Money calls—was this a bold bet or a massive mistake?

• MicroStrategy (MSTR) Madness: How MSTR briefly hit the $190 strike and what it means for the crypto-option correlation in 2026.

• Dividend Plays: Why Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) exploded for 1.37 million contracts.
