The QQQ has reached US$144.65 billion in assets under management, a record high, according to data from Lipper.

Moreover, volume has rebounded in equity call options, particularly for single-stock contracts. The ratio of call options relative to put options, a measure of how bullish traders are, has climbed since late September and is close to the peak reached just before the sell-off that month.Previously, activity in single-stock options had surged as a large investor, later reported to be SoftBank Group Corp , made significant option purchases in August.
