Crypto stock MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:MARA) is a new face on Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of stocks that attracted the most options volume during the last two weeks. Over the last 10 days, options bulls have blasted MARA, with 2,603,446 calls exchanged in comparison to 708,248 puts. The most popular contract during this time period was the October 19 call, followed by the weekly 10/25 20-strike call. 

MAO Oct28

This penchant for calls isn't unusual, given Mara stock's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 4.32 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX). This ratio ranks higher than all other readings from the past year. 

At last glance, MARA was up 10.4% at $18.83. This puts shares on track for their largest single-day percentage gain since August, though the volatile stock isn't a stranger to 5% moves in either direction, including yesterday's 6.4% drop. Year to date, the equity is down 20.4%. 

 

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.
