The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is aiming for another triple-digit win -- and is in the black for the week -- as traders applaud this morning's upwardly revised gross domestic product (GDP) estimate and a rebound in China. The blue-chip index was up more than 300 points this morning, and is attempting to climb out of correction territory.

Among the stocks with notable put activity is Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), with the options running at 1.5 times the average intraday pace. However, it appears some traders are expecting the iPhone maker to continue moving higher through tomorrow's close, with sell-to-open activity detected at the weekly 8/28 110- and 111-strike pust.

1-800-Flowers.Com Inc (NASDAQ:FLWS) is the biggest loser on the COMP today, due to fiscal fourth-quarter figures that missed expectations. The security boasted a 16.5% year-to-date lead coming into today, but the shares have given back 10.9% since the opening bell to trade at $8.55. 

The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is down 3.9 points, or 13%, as the "fear gauge" moves closer to a closely watched level. 

Today's put/call volume ratio on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) is 1.1, with puts outpacing calls. The SPY was last seen 3.7 points, or 1.9%, higher at $198.17.
