49,900% spike in "banana" options

Dear TheoTrader,
If you’ve ever wandered into the produce section of the supermarket you’ve probably seen these:

What you probably don't know is that Dole is a publicly traded company that trades under the ticker symbol DOLE.
On an average day it trades around 680K shares. Nothing crazy…compared to Apple which traded 110 million shares today.
But here's where it gets interesting.
DOLE also trades options. On a typical day you'll get about 12 contracts traded.
But today? Nearly 6K contracts were traded.
That's an increase of 49,900%.
The majority were OTM call options. And according to Brandon's Surveillance Console, they were hitting the September $15 calls for SIZE.

Someone dropped six figures on calls that expire worthless unless the stock moves higher. On generally illiquid options.
DOLE reports earnings next week.
Coincidence?
These are exactly the type of under-the-radar opportunities that Brandon's Surveillance Console detects.
Like his 70% winner in GDXJ and 133% gain on CORZ this week.
You usually hear about big movers after the fact. This tool lets you see them before they hit mainstream.

We Just Hit 40% Market Concentration (Haven't Seen This Since 1999)
Don Kaufman sounds the alarm on a market structure crisis hiding beneath today's rally. While everyone celebrates the S&P ripping 45 handles, he reveals we've crossed a dangerous threshold: 10 stocks now control over 40% of the entire S&P 500—concentration not seen since the dot-com peak.
Watch him break down the "echoes of volatility" still haunting this market, why the critical 6250 level could trigger a "trap door" collapse, and his bold prediction that next week's laughably low $88 expected move will get obliterated after three straight weeks of breaches.
