A Scenario For Insider Trading.

I think something suspious happened today but I have no proof. It's what happened to Boeing Calls. First it's one day chart, on a day the D.J.I.A closed down 453 points. ,,, Can you see the stock spike at 1:18 p.m.? What was that all about? Why on a Friday afternoon?
