I grabbed another cold one with ONN.tv’s Matt “Whiz” Buckley and Jud Pyle on their online show “Options Cocktail”. We hit all the major themes last week: from not-so-hot job reports, the election results and the VIX’s latest gyrations, to “Heroes and Zeroes”, which this week included solar stocks, the financials, Detroit auto-makers, Jerry Yang of Yahoo! and our pals to the north, Canada. Tune in on your next coffee break here.
I’ll be back next Monday with a fresh trading idea for super-volatile times…see you then!
Regards,
Brian (OG)
