\\nOption Block 268: Commodity Sea of Green
\\nTrading Block: A broad selloff across the board today. \\xa0Inflation fears spook the Fed and the market.\\xa0 Cisco off 7%, looking at layoffs. Walmart off 3%. \\xa0A sea of green in the commodities. Record day in the VIX - only 133 contracts short of 1 million.
\\nOdd Block: Review from 7/29 - very well-timed paper in American Eagle Outfitters (AEO). calls trade in SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB), and combos trade in Microsoft Inc. (MSFT).
\\nXpress Block: Single leg WalkLimit goes live!
\\nMail Block: Website comment from nrlbuild\\xa0- Enjoyed your show as usual, always fun to have Mr. Sebastian on the air! I feel the need to stick up for Motley Fool a little. 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
\\nAround the Block: More earnings? HPQ - 8/21. Keeping an eye on the 10-year.
