Mail Block: Listener questions and comments Question from Groose - Regarding Eurodollar futures options, are there different quirks between the months? Question from Trunghi Nguyen - Hey, hello Options Insider. Big fan of al of your work - listen to your shows all the time. Many Option Blocks ago, (around the Viceroys last show before he left, may have been his last show) he mentioned a past show where the Rock Lobster discussed how to trade a butterfly at expiration, and Alex thought it was pure gold. I cannot recall what type of butterfly trade it was, i.e. standard, iron, or broken wing, but Alex seemed impressed by Andrews explanation. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate which episode this was aired on. Any chance you can find out and let me know? Love your work - when it comes to Options Insider, I go long. Comment from Joseph A. - Good morning Options Insider. Wanted to stop by and say thank you for providing me and many others with a free source of invaluable knowledge. I hope you do not mind, but I shared your page with a couple of trading groups that I am a member of. Thank again - happy trading! Around the Block: Earnings!
