>>options this morning for no apparent reason

HJ, it sounds like a sucker trap to me... most option traders are delta neutral spreaders with their net exposure long/short vs put/calls equal to zero.

In other words, that position offsets a longer term short strategy or a shorter term put position.

Thanks for bringing that up, i'll look into it further.
