Imagine you have a toy store, and you want to know if someone is going to buy a lot of toys from you. You look at how many toys people want to buy and how much they are willing to pay for them. This is similar to what we do with the stock market. We look at how many people want to buy or sell a company's shares and how much they are willing to pay or accept for those shares. This helps us understand if a company's value will go up or down.
Now, there is a company called Sea, which operates an e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, similar to Amazon. Recently, some people with a lot of money (high-rolling investors) have been buying a lot of shares of Sea. This is a big deal because it usually means that they know something about the company that other people don't. It could be good news for the company, which means the value of its shares could go up. That's why we are paying attention to Sea and its options, which are contracts that give the buyer the right to buy or sell shares at a specific price.
