from The Option Block

Option Block 113: The Great VIX Implosion Trading Block: It's been quite the roller coaster ride for VIX as of late, a lot of people picked up their insurance and are sitting fully hedged, just riding out the storm. Over at KYO, Dollar General and GNC stocks continue an upward climb. Gold down today, as well as crude oil, bonds may be next. Plus, Netflix, aka the widow-maker, makes a return cameo. Odd Block: Unusual activity in Activision Blizzard, Inc. (ATVI), Targacept, Inc. (TRGT), and revisiting an 11/28 activity review on MGIC Investment Corp. (MTG). Xpress Block: Tim Navabi discusses corporate restructuring and how once they announce some news it can affect the stock and options. Around the Block: Retail sales tomorrow, crude inventories Wednesday. Best Buy could be interesting to watch along with other names in the Wheel of Fun.
