Trading Block: One week later, how is everyone doing? SPY is back in rally mode. VIX back in the mid-20s. It\'s been a wild week for CBOE. Stock took a hit, threatened $100, now rallying up 4%. Earnings this week include APRN, before the bell tomorrow. ATM straddle $0.65, approx. 20%. Volatility\'s awakening spurs a record long position in VIX Futures
Odd Block: Review from 2/8: Someone unloading calls in (UNP), Pre earnings action in Under Armor (UAA).
Mail Block: Options question of the week
VIX is moving like crazy today. It\'s already blown past 23 and is threatening 35. So let\'s dial up our $VIX threshold for extra #ZombieApocalypse fun. You buying or selling these levels? Quite Simply: Where will $VIX close on Friday?
Options question of the week, part two: It\'s been a rocky week for the markets. People are understandably scared and confused. That raises the question: Which product are you most concerned about over the next 30 days? Which product would you not touch with a 10-foot pole?
Listener questions and comments:
Around the Block: Earnings! Blue Apron, Under Armor. Can we get back into positive territory for the year in the S&P? Can get get three days of up? Or a couple of days of "not up so much"?
