[August 28th US Stock Options Leaderboard]

$Goldman Sachs ( GS )$ has the highest bullish trading volume, but net selling of Calls is dominant, resembling a covered or upper hedge. Strategy: Create a Call credit spread at 780/820C to collect premium; shareholders may also directly sell 780C for coverage to reduce holding costs.
$Tesla(TSLA)$ Put amount ranks first, but B:S≈0.9, indicating more selling of Put options, with a neutral to bullish sentiment. The strategy: implement a Bullish Put Spread 320/300P to collect premium; for more stability, consider a Bearish Call Spread 370/390C to control risk.
$Palantir(PLTR)$ ranks second on the bearish side, with a high proportion of Puts and dominant buying, more like institutions are increasing their hedging rather than purely shorting. Strategy: Shareholders can set a collar (sell 170C / buy 150P) to guard against pullbacks; those looking for downside can create a bear put spread 155/145P, a low-cost bet on a correction.
