A look of the metals/commodities: gold, silver, and natural gas.
Odd Block: Unusual activity in: Dunkiní Brands Group, Inc. (DNKN); American Express Co. (AXP); Lexmark (LXK)
Xpress Block: Alex Jacobson is back and discusses Legal Day 1 - the first day the Schwab/Option Xpress business combination became legal, and the party that ensued outside his window. The futures are becoming a more mainstream product.
Strategy Block: Mike Tosaw discusses the world of 1 by 2 ratio spreads. What are the advantages & disadvantages?
Around The Block: Everyone is keeping their powder dry ahead of non-farms payrolls tomorrow. Is this the time to get long premium and perhaps get a free weekend?
