On CNBC's Options Action, Mike Khouw spoke about a bullish options activity in Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) on a day when call options trading volume was two times higher than the average daily call options volume.
He noticed there was a large trade in weekly options on Thursday. A trader bought the April 1, weekly 235/250 call spread for $2. The trade breaks even at $237 or 4 percent higher from the closing price on Thursday. If the stock rallies 10 percent until the April 1 expiration, the trade is going to reach its maximal profit of $13.

Top 10 Gold Stocks To Invest In 2017: Dover Corporation(DOV)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Richard Moroney, Editor, Dow Theory Forecasts]
Dover (DOV), a maker of specialized industrial products and manufacturing equipment, is being initiated as a Long-Term Buy. Dover announced a 7% hike to its quarterly dividend in August, marking 58 straight years of increases.
- [By Ben Levisohn]
Industrial companies like Dover (DOV), Emerson Electric (EMR), Eaton (ETN), 3M (MMM) and Rockwell Automation (ROK) are calling for earnings growth to get better during the second half of the year. Bernstein’s Steven Winoker and team aren’t feeling as confident:
3M headquarters Bloomberg NewsGuidance still calling for 2H pickup. Most companies left their growth forecast for the fiscal year unchanged, while about half of our coverage updated their forecast for FY16 EPS. Danaher (DHR) and Ingersoll-Rand (IR) encouragingly increased their forecasts following a better 1Q and outlook for the rest of the year. Less positively, Dover finally updated its guidance after pre-announcing this quarter’s weakness, and this recent cut was the 7th round and the worst during this downturn. Tyco International (TYC) trimmed its expectations of Global Products growth, given the continued pressure it faces from harsh and hazardous markets. For companies holding their full-year guidance, most are still expecting a 2H pick-up in the macro industrial outlook to support growth acceleration or an inflection back to positive growth.
Recall that our companies generally do not have great forward visibility in volatile markets. We see the most risk to guidance for the most cyclical and/or shorter-cycle names, particularly Dover, Emerson Electric, Eaton,�3M and Rockwell Automation, as commodity prices remain low and industrial spending faces more risks of cuts.
Shares of Dover have gained 0.1% to $63.58 at 2:13 p.m. today, while Emerson Electric is little changed at $52.79, Eaton has ticked down 0.1% to $60.94,�3M has advanced 0.3% to $167.61, and Rockwell Automation risen 0.5% to $111.64.

While the direct revenue exposure to the UK is relatively small across our coverage (aside from�Tyco and Idex), the potential impact from Brexit is much more widespread across the continent and the world. The impact should be most negative for our companies with larger industrial exposure to Europe, just as we have begun to hear incrementally positive commentary regarding Europe.�Idex and�Tyco have some of the highest direct exposures to UK and Europe but Tyco’s business should be relatively more stable and in any case the�Johnson Controls (JCI) synergies loom large. Eaton (ETN) and Emerson Electric, though with slightly smaller exposure, are more involved with industrial spending.�Danaher and�Honeywell have high revenue exposure, but we believe that their more benign end market exposure should mitigate some of the negative consequences they face. We rate Allegion (ALLE), Danaher, Dover (DOV), Fortive (FTV), Honeywell, Ingersoll-Rand (IR), Pentair (PNR) and�Tyco Outperform; Emerson Electric, Eaton, General Electric (GE),�Idex and 3M (MMM) Market-Perform; Rockwell Automation (ROK) Underperform.
