Option Block 74: Apple vs. U.S. Government
Trading Block: Uncle Ben spooks the markets into retreat. If you can't buy stocks, and you can't buy treasuries, what can you do? Buy puts. Would a government shutdown be bad for the market? Metals rally. LNKD update.
Odd Block: Unusual activity in North American Palladium, Ltd. (PAL), and Virgin Media (VMED).
Around the Block: Debt. Debt. Debt. Debt. Debt. Earnings season is upon us, with Citi and AAPL coming up. The wonder that is AAPL.
