Option Block 123: Like a Virgin

Trading Block: Apple blows the doors off earnings again ? long premium going into earnings was the way to play it. JC Penney up $6.50 today, but is it best to still keep a short position? Netflix on the comeback trail? 

Odd Block: Unusual activity in Deutsche Bank AG (DB) and DeVry Inc. (DV).

Xpress Block: Tim Navabi breaks down the recent activity at OX. Have the recent round of earnings and a move to the upside started to lure back degenerate premium sellers back to Netflix? Have people continued to dive back into the short end of Google? 

Strategy Block: In this rare opportunity, Mark Sebastian takes over the strategy block to discuss what he thinks about the VIX.

Around the Block: Keeping an eye on Ford and Apple – again. Very interesting to see oil still around the 100 mark – gold and silver are also moving. Earnings: Jan 31 – Amazon, Feb 1 – Chipotle (stealth Apple), Exxon Mobile & UPS – next week.
