Option Block 393: Oil, LULU, Swaps, and More

Trading Block: A mild day on the street. Swap Talk: Why are people fighting over Dodd-Frank and derivatives? Traders hedge oil ETF while energy stocks lure buyers. U.S. oil prices drop below $60

Odd Block: Bullish calls trade in Dex Media Inc., synthetic covered calls trade in Sandridge Energy (SD), and looking for a rebound in Whiting Petroleum Corp (WLL)

Xpress Block: Lululemon earnings and futures volume.

Mail Block: Question from Nico Bellic - There are many options exchanges in the U.S. all trading the same products. How does this affect the way options trade in the U.S.? Is this more of a problem or a benefit to options traders? Anything I need to be aware of there?
