    \\n
  • Question from Evatar - I would like to know if a surprise rate increase by the Fed in the near term would make rho a more useful or necessary greek going forward?
  • \\n
  • Question from Jack -\\xa0Hi guys. I had 17 BLMN Jan 2015 $20 call contracts. BLMN was (as of 12/17/2014 during the final trading hour) trading in a range between $23.44 and $23.54. The spread on the calls was $3.00-$3.60. It had been $3.00-$3.80, but my order to sell at $3.60 moved the ask, but then sat there doing nothing for almost a half hour. This is my question. Even with BLMN in the $23.52-$23.54 area, I could not sell out of these calls at $3.60, with over a month left to expiration. That is unusual in my experience. Is it just that options on this stock have a crazy low volume?\\xa0Note: at about 15:50, BLMN jumped to $23.64 and my sell order filled before I could cancel and re-enter it at a higher price. I am still surprised that there was no apparent real, sellable time value left in these calls.

But I also wonder if many of the concepts you discuss are simply over the heads of the typical retail trader such as gamma, vega, implied volatility, etc. I know I\\u2019m frequently confused by some of these topics. Does retail really need to know all of this stuff or is a more straightforward approach (like if you sell this option, your max loss is x, your max gain is y, you have z days until your trade expires, etc.) a better way to reach the masses without scaring them or putting them off options? I hope you read my question but, if you do, to avoid embarrassment please just refer to me as \\u201cJoe\\u201d.

Does the volatility smile still exist or is it limited to odd circumstances such as the "Apple Zealots" that you have discusses on the show previously. Thank you so much for this tremendously informative program.

  • Question from Lee Patterson - I\'ve been an Option Block listener for a few months and you\'ve inspired me to hedge my retirement plan through my employer. It has been 100% invested in the S&P 500 and unfortunately I cannot use options in this account. My idea is to go to cash in my retirement plan at work while buying 3 month at the money calls in SPY and rolling them when they are 1 month from expiration in my Roth account. To finance these I would sell the weekly SPY about 2-3% out of the money. Does this seem like a reasonable plan to participate in the upside while limiting losses or is there a better way? Thanks for your time. Lee

  • Question from @Metegia - Which direction is a Risk Reversal, which is short RR? Descriptions conflict. Thanks.
  • \\n
  • Question from A. Jackson - Andrew referenced "double butterflies" on a recent episode of the Option Block. Can you explain a little more about that position - how it differs from regular fly, when/why you\'d want to use it, strike selection, etc. Thank you very much Mark for making so much excellent options content freely available to everyone. Your network is certainly one-of-a-kind and I\'m glad to see that it is doing so well.
  • \\n
  • Question from Richard D. - Hello! In this episode there is a discussion on taking advantage of TSLA skew and using OTM TSLA butterflies on both sides at strike. Could you explain a little more about skew, and if long/short butterflies are best given skew?

I have been a member since around 2000...and been in two of their options services since 2008. They actually have some good stuff with respect to options...I think even you tough veterans would agree if you understood. Unfortunately, the Fool universe is so large and varied, not unlike Seeking Alpha, that there is often as much junk as there is quality...it really depends upon which specific Fool service one subscribes. I have never understood why they don\\u2019t control that more carefully? Anyway, if it wasn\\u2019t for them I never would have come to options in the first place\\u2026and now I\\u2019ve found you guys! ;) Carry on! Ned

Question from Tom P.\\xa0 Are we ever going to see Walk-Limit on single leg trades? I\'m a teacher so I can\'t always be there to close out my trades on the open. This is particularly difficult around earnings season. I may miss the only chance to sell my option for a decent price on the open because I\'m away from my screens. I would love to be able to enter a target sale price for my options (long call, etc.) and then have OX walk the price down automatically until it hits the actual trading price. This would save busy people like me a lot of time, and potentially a lot of lost profits.
