Option Block 184: BNNY vs. FB vs. GRPN

Trading Block: A mild selloff and a mild VIX rally, yet another 0.0% day! Groupon the only green on the screen.\xa0 At last, Grigus is rolling in dough! BNNY blows FB out of the water.

Odd Block: Calls active as Dollar Tree pops (DLTR); J.C. Penney craters resulting in unusual puts activity (JCP), and; a quick review on Jefferies Group, Inc. (JEF).

Xpress Block: Sean Fitzgerald gets the OX hot seat today, and rolls through his list of interesting activity and notable trades. Know your dividends! Jobless claims ignored, and down.

Listener Mail: Letting the listeners take over.

• When are they going start the option mini's. I trade Apple and can only trade two contracts. Also premarket options?
\n
• Even the option guys are talking about FB, is that good or that bad?
\n
• Buying $EWZ CALLS Oct 57s $1.40. Do not ignore. Or ignore, that's fine too. Groupon Oct 6 calls for $.20 - or Oct 4.5 puts for $.20 - pick your poison.
\n
• I don't know how it's possible for someone to call themselves a money manager without knowing multiple ways to manage money. Mark, was this buy-side guy not familiar with the concept of cost basis when he decided to just dump the stock rather than buy a put?
