Fast Money Final Call and Options Action

Brian Stutland, contributor to CNBC's Options Action shown on Fridays, is bullish on India and the emerging market. Specifically, he likes Tata Motors (TTM), an indian based auto company. Brian also thinks TLT is very volatile recently due to the sensivities of prospect of interest rate change.

On Friday's "Options Action", Brian suggests to buy put and sell call on INTC.

Simply put, the higher the number, the more likely all stocks are going to move together. Conversely, a low number will be characterized by sector rotation, and flat markets; one sector moves higher, another moves lower.  (Source: Access Hollywood) Correlation, for lack of a better term, is correlated with volatility. Not surprisingly, 30-day S&P 500 historical volatility is near the low level of 6.5%. Currently at 33.5, KCJ is sitting close to rock bottom, lower than where it was in 2007, (but not lower than where Lindsay Lohan was in 2007).  So far this year, the market has been able to grind higher, characterized by leadership in FANG(Facebook Apple/Amazon, Netflix, Google) and sector rotation.
