Option Highlights
Grand Canyon Education (LOPE):
The September 40 Puts were purchased for 1.75 today. Open Interest in this contract currently sits at 40.
th
The education industry has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. On May 12 , ITT Education
Services ($ESI) was recently charged with fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Back in April,
the For-profit College Corinthian Colleges abruptly announced it will immediately close its remaining 28
campuses, a move that affected roughly 16,000 students. A possible descending triangle looks to be
forming on the daily chart.

McDonalds (MCD):
Today, the August 97.5 Calls were purchased for 4.20. In the latest 13F filings, some of the top hedge
funds and activists took new positions or raised their stakes in the fast-food chain. Jana Partners took a
new 125,000 share stake. Corvex Management took a new position by buying 205,000 shares. Glenview
Capital bought 2.9 million shares during the first quarter. Lastly, a lot of charts were being put out there
today showing the key resistance level McDonalds is approaching. The weekly chart is posted below.
