Option Block 233: Trickle Down SPX

Trading Block: The market is gaining back some ground after a skittish week. Here we go again with Alcoa earnings after the bell. Uncle Mike updates us on Ford, GLD, SLV and Apple. Is there any love for Facebook at these levels? The market is not loving FB Home apparently. Caribou Coffee pulling out of Chicago. BOX files with the SEC for a jumbo SPDR - 1000 multiplier.

Odd Block: Calls trade in Wisdom Tree India Earnings Fund (EPI), calls trade in Lufkin Industries Inc. (LUFK), puts and stock trade in Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), and calls trade in Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. (GT).

Xpress Block: A mini volume and customer interest update from Alex.

Around the Block: A whole lot of nothing coming out of Alcoa, which kicks off earnings week.
