  • The Option Block 1510: Cool Kids and Crazy Call Spreads
    Oct 22 2026

    A massive semiconductor call spread runs into a tech selloff—and the timing gets painful fast. On this episode, Mark Longo, Mike Tosaw and Henry Schwartz break down a $12.1 million bullish position in SMH, unusual options activity in Toast, and the market's latest reaction to Meta and Tesla earnings.

    Henry takes listeners inside the 55,000-lot SMH call spread, explaining its structure, defined risk and sharp decline in value. He also examines heavy call selling in Toast (TOST), including unusual market maker activity and in-the-money opening trades.

    Plus, the panel explores:
    • Premarket options trading: early volume trends, wider bid-ask spreads and execution challenges.
    • Mike's Meta collar adjustments and his reasoning for buying back short calls.
    • Active options trading in Nvidia, Apple, CoreWeave, Tesla and other leading names.
    • VIX activity, sector rotation and options pricing around the upcoming midterm elections.

    Mark also spotlights A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO), the charity helping children with limb disabilities—and the "cool kids" behind this episode's title.

  • The Option Block 1509: Race Cars, Top Hats and Cleveland Cliffs..Oh My!
    Oct 19 2026

    Stocks are bouncing back, but volatility isn't ready to settle down. On this episode, Mark Longo, Andrew "The Rock Lobster" Giovinazzi and Mike Tosaw break down the market rebound, lingering concerns about AI stocks and the options activity heating up ahead of earnings and the midterm elections.

    The crew explores Cleveland-Cliffs' earnings-fueled surge and the short-term call trading chasing further upside. Plus, they examine unusual options activity in Equinox Gold, a November VIX straddle and the busy options tape in Nvidia, Tesla, Amazon, CoreWeave and more.

    In the Strategy Block, Uncle Mike explains why perfectionism can undermine your trading—from handling covered-call assignments and missed rallies to taking profits when you're close to your target.

    And between the market analysis and trading lessons, a Monopoly trivia battle sparks a debate over race cars, top hats and who would dominate a showdown among the network's hosts.

  • The Option Block 1508: It's All About Meat...and ETFs!!!
    Oct 15 2026

    Unusual options activity in a Brazilian meat giant and the growing appetite for options-based ETFs serve up plenty to discuss on this episode. Mark Longo, Henry Schwartz from Cboe and Mike Tosaw from St. Charles Wealth Management break down market rotation, pressure on AI and semiconductor stocks, and another busy session for options traders.

    Henry joins from Cboe's trading floor with insights into defined outcome ETFs, downside buffers, covered call income strategies and the FLEX options powering many of these products. Uncle Mike explains how collars fit into his approach to portfolio risk management.

    In the Odd Block, the panel investigates massive JBS call activity that looks very different after examining the underlying trade data, a long-dated Under Armour put roll and fresh call buying in Fermi. Plus, VIX options activity, Nvidia and CoreWeave in the most-active rankings, and a listener showdown featuring Portillo's, Archer Aviation, Fermi and Lucid Motors.
