Volatility Voicemail: Listners take over

Options question of the week: Earnings season is still in full swing. Which names will dominate your #Options trading this week?

• 46% - Apple, $AAPL
• 40% - Tesla, $TSLA
• 8% - GoPro, $GPRO
• 6% - CBOE, $CBOE

Listener questions and comments:

• Question from Nils - You guys buying any more of those VXX puts?
• Question from Roxy -Explain to me again how buying thousands of worthless January puts in VXX is a good trade?
• Question from Elan - My broker doesn't list the $VIX futures alongside the options. It's damn confusing! Why don't they all just post them so I can see what I'm trading my options on? Instead I have to pull up a separate platform with the futures quotes so I can make sense of it all.
