Option Block 165: I Make Liquidity
Option Block 165: I Make Liquidity
Trading Block: Another day, another mild selloff. VIX getting the weekend/holiday back, plus a little more. Oil/Commodity rundown - the hot, dry weather has had a big impact of the ags, especially corn. Activision on the block.
Odd Block: An unusual activity review for Materials Select Sector SPDR (XLB), Research in Motion, Ltd. (RIMM), and Horizon Pharma, Inc. HZNP (HZNP).
Xpress Block: John Grigus gets the floor over at the OX desk and discuss the recent grain market and what to remember if you want to start trading ag futures and options.
Mail Block: Option Block, I wanted to know what way you found is the best to explain to common folk that you trade options for living -- I find it very difficult to answer the common question of "what do you do for a living?". Even my most successful attempts I am always met with rather blank stares -- or worse if they have a sliver of knowledge they think that I just buy low and sell high common stock which I think most options traders find unsophisticatedly insulting. Please help me with your infinite wisdom. (Via the Options Insider forum by: optionsvoodoo)
Around the Block: Earnings season is back! Google on July 12, Citi on the 16th. Apple running pre pre-earnings. Keeping an eye on Activision and EA.
