OPTION STRATEGY AND ANALYTICS
Meridian's Option Analytics Group scans equity option transactions in real-time to identify noteworthy and exceptional activity. This activity frequently serves as a precursor to significant movement in the underlying stocks and/or industries observed - be it merger news, earnings surprises or even shareholder activism. Every day we publish our proprietary piece, Option Analytics, and update the "Noteworthy Activity" section intraday to ensure clients stay informed of unusual activity as it happens. Savvy traders find this analysis valuable in today's time-sensitive marketplace.

PORTFOLIO SCREENING
With multiple strike prices and expirations available, options allow an investor to establish a position which reflects a specific time & price outlook for a particular investment. By applying some of the tools we utilize to expose market opportunities in general, we evaluate client portfolios for securities whose options suggest a bias toward the upside or downside. Especially in the healthcare sector - where binary events are the norm - options pricing may suggest the potential impact of a pending event on the underlying stock price.
We additionally screen for inexpensive options that can be purchased to hedge or increase exposure with minimized risk. Likewise our screens may generate a list of opportunities for yield enhancement through the sale of expensive options. We then generate a report of our findings, which may be delivered once with detailed explanation, or continually revised and advised upon, as part of a consultative program.
