Option Block 374: When To Exercise An Option...Never

Trading Block: An aggressive selloff in the market today. VIX up 3 handles - about 22%. Apple off 3%. Nike, the other big player in the market today - up about $4.\xa0

Odd Block: Calls and puts trade in EXH- looks like a straddle seller, puts close in KO- could be a put closer but not rolling, and calls trade in PBF- existing roll for calls

• iTunes comment from PuntPass Shoot - There are a lot of financial podcasts out there..not a lot of good ones though. It\u2019s even harder to find something useful about options. The Option Block really gets it right. Just the right amount of information, banter and market insight to make it something I look forward to listening to every week. Great energy between the guys, interesting guests and useful traders of all rangers. IF you\u2019re thinking about subscribing...stop thinking. Just do it.
