(PFE) Mail Block: Questions, comments, and more. Options #QuestionOfTheWeek - Time for another earnings straddle battle. Which company will outperform their earnings straddle by the largest margin? Apple - $AAPL Facebook - $FB Amazon - $AMZN Chipotle - $CMG Listner questions: Question from Michael Gavriel - Hey guys, I appreciate all the programming. As far as I can tell, the Option Block podcasts sort of arrive a day late. Maybe its my podcast client? I have not looked into it. What I mean is - for example, the recent Option Block show - Option Block 572, it seems like that is a recap of Thursdays action. But when is it published? I sort of 'need' it to be published on Thursday night i.e. the 10th, or very early in the morning, I guess, on the 11th, if I am going to sort of use it to keep me abreast of action ahead of the trading day? Just curious if this is just how your guys schedules work, maybe you record the next morning, and release mid day, in which case I am a bit out of luck in terms of it being a super timely source. But if it is something I am doing wrong on my end, please do let me know! Thanks. Question from Tom - What does this article mean? Question from Koukas - Researchers say we were in the most narrow equity range since 1933 just before the elction. What's the best way to trade that? Sell out a far out straddle? Around the Block: Earnings! AAPL, XOM, CMG, AMZN. Trump Twitter watch. Confirmations.
