The Option Block 1201: Mercenary Armies and Macho Men

The Option Block All-Star Panel breaks down the latest developments in the options market, analyzes unusual options activity, explains cutting-edge options strategies, answers listener questions and much more. Whether you're an active options trader or just getting started in the options market, The Option Block will keep you informed and entertained.

I am a relatively new listener, however  i had to turn of the show after 5 minus - I am here to learn about option strategies, not to listen to Apple hating rhetorics.   I get it you don&#39;t like Apple&#39;s platform  but at least show you are not ignorant of Apple products if do decide to talk about it.   All iPad - &#34;Mac syncing requires a wire plugging into iTunes&#34;   - hello - have you heard of wireless syncing,  iCloud sync for documents and apps ?  and that the coming iPad Mini &#34;is the stupidest idea they have come up with&#34;  - oh Really ? why ?   I am fine if you hold a bearish outlook on Apple stock - I would love to hear your analysis on valuation,  but a baseless claim that &#34;3 years later the stock will definitely worth a a lot less then today ?&#34;     Such thoughtless comments leads me to seriously doubt the quality of the content on the main topic.

Very disappointing

Superb. Thoughtful, funny and wide ranging show for learning and understanding options trading.
