Notes
Look at this.
On June 11, Ouster, $OUST, OS1 digital lidar sensor had been added to the Department of Defense’s Blue UAS Cleared List.
$OUST increased 27%%.
Yet numerous far-out-of-the-money call options were placed BEFORE this news.
$OUST gets ZERO options activity, it is a fairly illiquid name. So the fact that people were hitting it before the Federal Government news is...well...unusual.
For example, On May 28th, 2,750 January 2026 $25 call contracts were filled at $0.58 per contract, all at the ask. They were 133% out of the money.
With the news, they gained 684% for gains, turning into millions.
Someone always knows.
