The report I heard (repeated again this morning on CNBC) is that the purchase was OSX calls, not futures. I didn't even know there were OSX futures -- of course, there are a lot of things I don't know.

Do you really consider this report (or possibly rumor) as "the STRONGEST BUY SIGNAL possible"?

As far as I can tell, the sources of the report are unnamed traders; the reported buyer doesn't have a name or face; and, assuming there was a buyer, we don't know whether the purchase is a naked long, a short cover, part of some hedging strategy, etc.

I am very long, and bullish, on the stock performance of this sector, but let's put these stories in perspective.
