Friday Market Wrap-up CBOE

Well, the picture really says it all, Vetrans Day 2005 and all is quiet on the options front. The market quietly added to the upside this week, causing even more New York City firm traders to back off from trading. Hey, why rock the boat when you've already made your nut for the year? Barring catastrophe, it looks as if the trend of a laissez-faire marketplace will continue right through to the end of the year. Great for banks, bad for brokers. Looking for all the customers out there? try the Hamptons.
Check out the blank, hollow stare of my friend Murf in the corner of the picture, "Oh god, six more hours of this? Somebody shoot me." And we all feel his pain. So thats whats trading on the floor of the CBOE today, happy Veterans Day everyone, enjoy the weekend.-JUD
