Sunedison Inc (NYSE:SUNE) had a brutal Monday, losing 6% to hit $10.60, amid a broad-market slide. This morning, however, the solar stock is up 1.9% pre-market, after CEO Ahmad Chatila bought 4,800 shares, and the company announced its first community solar program in Massachusetts. Also providing a boost is a fresh "buy" rating from BofA-Merrill Lynch, and a $18 price target. 

On the options front, many traders are counting on SUNE to resume its downtrend through front-month expiration at Friday's close. Over the past two weeks, the September 10 strike has seen the biggest increase in put open interest, with close to 2,500 positions added. Total open interest at the strike stands at nearly 9,600 contracts -- among the largest accumulations of SUNE puts.

Digging deeper, data from the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) confirms that 4,374 contracts have been bought to open at the September 10 put during the last month. In other words, these buyers anticipate the shares will descend into single-digit territory by the end of this week.

This negativity is hardly inexplicable. Sunedison Inc (NYSE:SUNE) has had a miserable year, losing nearly 46%. Perhaps even more astonishing, the stock has underperformed the broader S&P 500 Index (SPX) by 63.5 percentage points over the past 40 sessions.
 

AI has exploded ever since ChatGPT set the world on fire near the end of 2022.

Numerous companies with connections to artificial intelligence have seen their stocks soar.

That includes Nvidia, the poster boy of AI.

Its stock has skyrocketed 716% since ChatGPT’s debut. But here’s the thing …

While everyone’s still counting their money from this first AI boom … Nvidia and countless others have moved on to the next stage.

That includes Big Tech, which is currently making a series of peculiar investments in a few strange companies. This has nothing to do with tech. At least on the surface …

Yet, these strange investments could be the early ripples of a massive wave …Without them, ChatGPT could stop operating … Amazon, Google, Microsoft and more could see profits drop drastically.

In fact, Elon Musk says these investments are critical when it comes to solving the number one problem facing AI.

Now, Silicon Valley legend Michael Robinson has identified two companies that could play a significant role in the solution.

Their stocks just may be the key to AI 2.0.

Find out more about these two companies today.
