[Image] Happy Monday! Did you catch all the drama with OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Microsoft? Let me fill you in… In today’s Dark Money Trades rundown: - 🤖 MSFT – a proxy for trading ChatGPT? - 💰 2 interesting smart money bets from this morning - 🔫 Ben’s Bullets – 3 big ideas for the market this week Read time: 3 minutes 🚀 [Dark Money Scoop: Is MSFT Now a Proxy for Trading OpenAI?]( 🤖 Image source: Midjourney Hey trader! Today, I couldn’t help but talk to you about the crazy story of: Sam Altman, OpenAI, and Microsoft. Let's rewind a bit to catch you up. Recently, Sam Altman, the big boss of OpenAI (yep, the geniuses behind ChatGPT), got fired in a dramatic twist, being ousted by the OpenAI board. After that, the board offered him back the CEO role this weekend… And there’s even been a demand from OpenAI workers to reinstate Altman and for the entire board to resign… Or they’ll all quit! In the latest turn of events, Altman could be heading to work with Microsoft on their AI team. Since all the drama at OpenAI , Microsoft’s (MSFT) stock is buzzing… And today, I saw a swarm of unusual options activity on MSFT. 74% of these insider bets I saw today were bullish… Meaning a lot of folks are betting on MSFT continuing to go up. It’s already jumped from $371.22 to $377.44 at today’s close… And over half of all these insider bets are going into MSFT calls expiring this Friday, 11/24. How much? Over $3.7 million. That's a whole lot of dough riding on MSFT’s short-term jump. So, what's the big picture here? With Altman possibly joining Microsoft, it's like we've got a direct line to trade on the figurehead behind the magic of ChatGPT. Think about it – Altman's known for pushing the envelope in AI. His move to Microsoft could be a game-changer, making MSFT the backdoor stock to bet on Altman's vision and innovation. All that to say: keep your eyes peeled on MSFT this week… It could be a new proxy for trading the future of AI, through Sam Altman. 🚀 💰The Biggest Smart-Money Bets of the Week💰 $21.05MM bearish bet on VALE JAN 19 2024 $17 puts @ $1.83 (seen on 11/20) $6.04MM bullish bet on TSLA NOV 24th $240 calls @ $2-3 (seen on 11/20) Let’s take a look at two insider bets that came through the unusual options scanner.
