December Options Trades
Below is a list of some unusual options activity by day for December (starting on December 12th).

Notes: A strong U.S. dollar and the start of the Euro Zone QE program on Monday ($1.2T program) are weighing on the currency. Given that this program could last until September 2016 or beyond (2% inflation target), it is not out of the question to see parity against dollar by the time their quantitative easing has ended.
