No news ..... so it boils down to: Volatility Fear Greed :)

What's with FB? They are in a free fall. :wtf: :)

No doubt Led Zeppelin got the opening riff from Spirit's Taurus. I wonder why its taken so long for the copyright lawsuit to proceed? The members of Spirit must have know since 1971. :)

Why? Nothing wrong with straddles. :)

The verification requirements would have to be worked out. For starters people who use their real name could get the Verified member status. :)

SoAndSo is an ET Verified Member Facebook and Twitter give verified members a blue check mark. Perhaps ET could look into doing the same thing. The verification requirements would have to be worked out. :)

IMO ....... Both BBRY and AMD are in the same boat. They are fallen tech giants with no hope in the future - next stop bankruptcy. :)

IMO ......... Earnings does not provide more of an advantage for sellers or buyers of options compared to non-earnings. The playing field is always level for both buyers and sellers at all times. :)

Why not download beforehand and enjoy the weekend? :)
