Question 1

How does HoldingsIntel show institutional options activity?

Accepted Answer

13F filings include PUT and CALL options held by institutional managers. CALL options are typically bullish bets; PUT options are bearish bets or portfolio hedges. The Options page surfaces these positions alongside their underlying stocks.

Question 2

Are large PUT positions always bearish?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Large PUT positions from funds that also hold the underlying stock are typically hedges, not bearish bets. Stand-alone PUT positions (no underlying equity holding) are stronger bearish indicators.

Question 3

How frequently are options positions updated?

Accepted Answer

Same cadence as equity holdings — quarterly with a ~45-day lag from SEC filing deadlines. Options expirations and intra-quarter trades aren't visible in 13F data; only end-of-quarter holdings are disclosed.
