Pete Najarian said on CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report" that he noticed unusually high options activity in VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETFSMH for the second day in a row.
A trader bought 34,000 contracts of the November 69 puts on Monday. Najarian explained that this trade doesn't look like a hedge. It looks to him that somebody expects some sort of a pull back in the name. In the first half of the trading session on Tuesday, there was a purchase of 7,000 contracts of the August 84 puts for $1. The trade breaks even at $83 or 4.54 percent lower.
