What kind of effect does option trading have?

As far as I know, you can't trade derivatives on CORL. There has been plenty of volume in the options market for INPR. My theory is that the options volume is keeping us from seeing the same kind of explosive changes in valuation that CORL has been experiencing. I note that CORL's volume is often much higher than INPR's, despite having only a slightly larger float, but if one factors in the options volume as well, we get another 0.5-1.0M 'shares' traded.

However, although dabbling in options that have now done quite well, on paper, I do not understand enough of the meta-effects of derivative trading to offer any sort of proof of this theory.

Does anyone here, with a better understanding, care to offer a reasoned opinion on my theory?
