Is it just me or is the TOS platform currently not displaying the GOOG APR chain? It only has chains starting from June.

I can see my Goog apr chain just fine. I get a bug on occasion too, that skips certain month chains for some reason. It usually corrects itself after a few minutes.
I would call the trade desk if it persists.

I saw the prob on the paper trade side but on the real money side it works...I didn't really want to throw 80 grand at this trade so thought I might try the paper trade.....can't do it there

Rambus is picking up the vol. The vol is at 108. The earnings date is not yet announced. We can watch this and it may be good candidate for combo to B-fly conversion.

only problem is combo's are converted within 10 days and that would bring us right up to options exp.....I think he didn't do the combo/coversion this close to exp.
