Banks Bounce Back

There’s been big news coming out of the finance sector of late, and that’s caused a lot of trading in the biggest companies in the space. It’s also caused some hefty trading in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) pegged to the financial industry. Of course, there’s also been plenty of action for options trading investors.
