Option Block 93: Metal-Ocalypse Strikes AgainTrading Block: The relationship between VIX and VXN, how it could have helped you. Late session rally on European hopes. The Metal-ocalypse continues - where is the bottom? Sell-offs in both GLD and SLV. EK crushed to the downside...again -- CDs upfront premium not at 41%!

Open interest in calls at the Jan. 2012 $40 strike far exceeds volume of 1,015 contracts exchanged thus far in the session, suggesting trades today may or may not be opening. Options implied volatility on Hasbro rose 5.9% to 37.75% in early-afternoon trade. Novagold Resources (NG) - On average, they do about 7,000 contracts, today though 100,000! Size time spread - looks like 44K Dec 7 puts were sold in a closing transaction for around $1.08 - existing open interest of 70,000 contracts. Xpress Block: Tim Navabi runs through the top moving stocks and commodities over at OX today. Also a little overview on the use of settled and unsettled funds. Around The Block: Jobless claims on Thursday as well as GDP. Greek debt still on the horizon.
