The Hot Options Report: 4-15-26

The options market is hitting a fever pitch as tech giants propel major indices to fresh record highs. In this episode of The Hot Options Report, host Mark Longo breaks down an absolute "banger" of a day where it took nearly 600,000 contracts just to crack the Top 10. We kick things off with a deep dive into the "Acts of Congress" scan, revealing the latest stock disclosures from Capitol Hill, including trades in Integris (IDYA), Amcor (AMCR), and Marriott (MAR). Mark discusses why these disclosures matter and the ongoing debate surrounding Congressional stock trading. The main event belongs to Tesla (TSLA). With Elon Musk doubling down on the "AI5" chip milestone, Tesla shares skyrocketed over 7.5%, triggering a massive surge of 6.26 million options contracts. Is this the start of a new AI-driven bull run for Musk's flagship, or a temporary spark?
