Investors in BlackRock, Inc. BLK need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately.

Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for BlackRock shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company?
