There are two options contracts that are the most active on the CBOE today, and both are electric producers and power generation.   NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NRG) and Mirant Corp. (NYSE: MIR) hold the two top spots for options trading so far this morning.

  • NRG’s JUL08 $42.50 CALL    with 15,005 contracts traded, and prior open interest of 2,168 contracts.
  • Mirant’s JUL08 $40.00 CALL with 15,026 contracts traded, prior open interest of 1,734 contracts.

This is far from normal options trading when you consider these normal volumes.
