[Option Beast]( 06/19/2021   |   [View in browser]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Facebook Makes New All-Time High, Options Traders Grab Calls]( Facebook Inc. hasn't issued any notable news since it printed its first-quarter 2021 earnings report on April 28, but that hasn't stopped the stock from reaching new all-time high after new all-time high. On Tuesday, the Cathie Wood's-led ARK Invest said it believes Facebook's 2022 smartwatch launch will lead the social media giant into the augmented reality space. The news helped Facebook reach a new all-time high of $339.92 early Monday morning before trading down slightly in consolidation. Facebook's stock is already up about 25% this year, and 147% since the pandemic-induced dump. Options traders believe there's more upside for Facebook and on Tuesday purchased over $4.1 million worth of call contracts, with one single order totaling over $1.41 million.

Buffett isn't infallible, but he's delivered an annual average return of 20% since the mid-1960s for his shareholders. In aggregate, we're talking about a return of more than 2,800,000%! What's even more amazing is that Buffett hasn't done anything the average investors couldn't do to net these huge gains.
