Option Block 292: TWTR Is No FB

Trading Block: The first day of trading for Twitter options was very interesting, but yet not the day everyone was hoping for. With these numbers, Twitter will not set a first-day options trading record as Facebook did on its debut. Alex said Dec 50 calls were popular at OX today. CBOE now disseminating VXST every 15 seconds instead of once per day. Interesting article on Barron’s today slamming VXX and other VIX ETPs.

Odd Block: Review from last show - Calls trade in Tile Shop Holdings (TTS), put spread trades in Darling International Inc. (DAR), calls trade in Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (KND)

Mail Block: Question from BROB

What do you guys think of put/call ratios? I never hear you mention them on the show. Useful tool or overhyped indicator?

Around the Block: Home Depot earnings before the open tomorrow.
