# The Lebron Trade (Wall Street Edition: Post-Mortem)

 July 8, 2010

by [Jesse Lawrence](https://blog.ticketiq.com/blog/author/jesse-lawrence)

# **Wednesday, the Stock Market Believed LeBron was Coming to NYC. Yesterday, It was 3 times as sure he wasn't. Today, It's thinking it may take a while.**

1  
**At TicketIQ, we’re tracking volume for different option-related bets on Knicks parent co., MSG, Inc. Because the option market requires less capital to speculate, it can be a better indicator market sentiment than actual stock price.**  
1  
**Here’s what Mr. Market is saying:  
1  
 Wednesday, Bullish:**  
 \*Option Volume was 2,400% higher than daily average  
 \*Biggest trade was buying July calls (volume: 11,004). Betting MSG would be worth $22.50 on July 17th  
1  
**Yesterday: 3x Bearish:**  
 \*Option volume almost 300% higher than yesterday, and 6,000% higher than daily average.  
 \*Biggest trade is selling July calls (4:42pm volume: 28,326). Thanks to this article, regretting yesterday’s bet.  
1  
**Today: This could take a while**  
 \*July Call Option volume 10% of yesterday's.  
 \*'In the Money' line moved from $22.5 to $20 for all available options.  
 \* Novemeber, 2010 calls down 44% on [volume](http://www.nasdaq.com/aspxcontent/options2.aspx?symbol=MSG&selected=MSG&qm_page=59638&qm_symbol=MSG) of 64 contracts.
