Playing Zynga big time now. Have several thousand shares, dozens of covered calls, I sold some puts on it as well. I also picked up another thousand shares of Ford and have 20 covered calls. I'm expecting it to drop next week but in the event it doesn't I'll be stuck waiting until February for my calls to expire so I can dump it for maybe a 5% gain.

Brent Crude as I type this is $114.58.
CRUDE OIL PRICE: Oil | Energy | Petroleum | Oil Price | Crude Oil Charts | Oil Price Forecast

And world markets UP UP UP this Sunday night. But that does not mean the U.S. markets will go up tomorrow (flip a coin). However here is that latest "reason" for world market behavior...

Seems like any and all good news has the ability to push the markets higher and higher.......quite impressive. I wonder what QE3 is going to do...that will be insane if/when it happens.
