For example, have you noticed that TRE's volume is up 1.5 to 2 times what it was a month ago meaning that instead of averaging 200,000 shares a day it is up at 500,000-600,000 shares a day this for the last 4 weeks.

That being the case price is not moving one way or the other significantly. That is a lot of volume so what is happening? Is this a sign of accumulation or distribution? Why is there so much volume with nothing happening?

At the same time January 11 options are up to almost 22,000 at a strike of 10. Frankly, my experience with options writers is that they are not in the business of making the options buyer money. My impression that there are 22,000 suckers who are about to take it in the shorts. Why are they buying these options? Are they designed to create a fake impression of a major breakout when the charts indicate the opposite?

Try and answer these questions. Good answers turn into profits. Bad answers turn into losses!
