Xpress Block: Cue the game show music for yet another edition of "The Trading Patterns Game."

Listener Mail:  Comments and questions from our audience.

• Comment from Options Curator - Just BTO an $AAPL Feb14 515 Call at $31.20. Let see how #ChristmasHoliday plays out. @Options #options #trading #investing
• Question from BillyMo @b1llmoo - 2nd question. Why does SPY and its options not trade the same hours as /ES and their options? Seems like it exchanges would love it.

Around the Block: Tesla, Groupon and Qualcomm earnings this week. TSLA is very important for OX clientele.
