Mail Block: Listener questions and comments:

Question from Adam Sam - ‏How come no one saw GOOG jump coming. Do you ever share where you get your info from? I would love to know. Thanks.
Question from big George: Hola options amigos. Fun program. Just found it on Stitcher and now it’s on the top of my business playlist. You guys make options fun. I would like to know if there’s any way that I can enter after hours orders for options. I can access afterhours books for my stocks but I don’t see that choice for options. Do I need to use a special broker or platform? This would really help me with my earnings season trading. Thanks, George.

 
Around the Block: What to watch for in Apple earnings. Also watching GM, Boeing, Coke, Amazon, Microsoft & others.
