Option Block 200: It's a Celebration
Celebration Block: Let's pat ourselves on the back
for lasting for 200 episodes, the most episodes of any program on
our network, and probably the most episodes of any options podcast
in history.
- We've had more episodes than: Seinfeld, Magnum PI, The Cosby Show, Full House, Different Strokes, Golden Girls & Three's Company.
- We also look back at the origins of the show and share some of our favorite moments along the way, including: Sebastian's many nicknames, Grigus' many stock picks, Tosaw's favorite strategies, favorite guest, favorite uncomfortable moments, and much more.
- We're also cooking up a new segment: live listener questions.
Trading Block: Potential budget compromise
sparks a strong rally. Apple at $505! Who's back in? CBOE missed a
great opportunity to have a tradable Apple VIX on Friday. Hostess
going bankrupt - is the Twinkie gone forever? Can they be saved by
Bimbo Bakery? Intel lower after the news of their CEO
retiring. Tyson Foods blows past estimates.
Xpress Block: Alex Jacobson get today's OX hot seat and
discusses OX's idea hub and walk limit product. Don't forget this
is a short week for trading.
Around the Block: Beware of decay, and watch for
bargains, because of this shortened holiday week. Fiscal cliff
looking less perilous. Is this the return of the upside vol?
