Trading Block: NASDAQ halts trading today over tech glitch. Many big names were impacted. Goldman Sachs screws up JPM options trading.

Odd Block: Calls trade in Express, Inc. (EXPR), calls and puts trade in Accuray Incorporated (ARAY), and calls trade in Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC)

Strategy Block: Uncle Mike Tosaw discusses the situation of a covered call moving in the money and the ways in which to think about it.
