Option Block 183: Bernanke Puts

Trading Block: Most of the major indices giving back some of the QE3 love, after an abnormally odd Friday. QE3: good, bad or ugly? A rundown from the options conference last week. Is Grigus still on the Groupon love train?

Option Block: Shares of Linn Energy (LINE) are trading low; traders look for increased vol on Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS), and; LEAPS calls active on IAMGOLD (IAG).

Xpress Block: John Grigus gets in OX hot seat to talk about what\'s been coming across the desk today. Crude oil had over 13,000 contracts go up in less than a minute. Grains also lighting up the tape.

Around the Block: Post-QE3 and post-Apple malaise? When will the next shoe drop? Home sales on the 19th. Oracle and AutoZone earnings also on the 19th.
