9 Rallying Stocks With Bullish Options Sentiment

According to conventional wisdom, the savvy investor trades by the credo "buy low to sell high." And usually, it's a pretty safe strategy, predicated on the notion that what goes down will eventually come up -- and of course, that what goes up must also come down.

If this were always the case, you'd probably want to avoid adding soaring stocks to your portfolio. But as it turns out, it's not always a bad idea to buy into a rally. Because sometimes, a stock on the rise is just starting to gain momentum.

How can you tell if a stock will continue defying gravity, though? For clues, have a look at what's going on in the options market. Call options traders are generally sophisticated investors who bet on a stock's upside -- they look for stocks expected to see upward momentum over the coming weeks. If they're buying stocks on a rally, then they're probably pretty confident that more good news, that's yet to be priced in, is on the way.

Put simply, their bullishness might be a signal that the best is yet to come for these rallying stocks.
