Option Block 331: Maximizing Your IRA
\\n\\xa0
\\nTrading Block: It was a pretty slow day, with all major indices basically unchanged on the day. Expiration issues prompted many phone calls to the optionsXpress desk. Earnings aren\\u2019t running over premium sellers like the last time. Pit trading helped out the CME last week. HFT narrative still active in the market.\\xa0
\\nOdd Block: Big call buy in Wal-Mart Stores Inc., May call spread trades in Western Digital Corp. (WDC), put buying in Target Corp. (TGT), and closing out a huge position in Lloyds Bank of London (LYG).
\\nXpress Block: Frenzy about a shortened expiration week, particularly with indexes.\\xa0
\\nMail Block: Listener questions drive the conversation.
