Obviously having access to insider information and trading based on that information is not okay, but the specific trade called out here does not sound like the sort of thing a person would do if they had information about future movement of the underlying $MSFT.

They traded deep ITM calls 4 months out for deeper ITM calls 1 month out. My guess is that this particular trade is part of a risk management strategy, not an adjustment based on insider information.



Yeah that didn’t make sense to me either. It sounds like the author isn’t very knowledgeable about how options work.
