Listen "Option Block 276: Another Day, Another Crash"
Episode Synopsis
Trading Block: Another day, another tech disaster! OPRA (Options Price Reporting Authority) feed went down for about an hour while the underlying continued to trade. What can/should retail do to prepare for these outages? Metals selloff continues. Today's options shutdown is a good argument to use gold options/futures vs. GLD futures. Apple adjustments.
Odd Block: Puts trade in Yahoo Inc. (YHOO), and calls trade in Geron Corp. (GERN)
Xpress Block: Apple, Facebook and the stealth rally in Lululemon.
Mail Block: So, what do you want to know?
Question from Anon - Can you guys do the Odd Block from the previous day so you can see the changes in open interest?
Question from Mr. Charles - I know you guys do not like zero cost collars, but the Ford Oct 17-18 collar is lining up very nicely right now. You may even be able to get it for a credit. I am a long equity folder from around $11. Think this is a good place/time to collar Ford?
Around the Block: FOMC results later this week.
