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%!
