  • Question from Kevin Duggan: to info Hi Mark, I love your shows! Question - What happens to my options if the underlying gets halted permanently? Would I ever be able to close them? I am remembering Sino Forest from a few years ago in Canada- stock got halted pending a fraud investigation and never came back. I am worried that I will not be able to cash in on my BABA Puts! Thanks, Kevin

Around the Block: Are there still earnings left? Evidently, with Blackberry reporting later. Will there be new all-time highs? Greece default date: 6/30.
