The Voice of @Options. Dad, CT Expat turned Chicagoan & New Media Entrepreneur. When not talking options I enjoy history, tech, mma & the occasional theme park.

It's the end of an era. The Swarm closed out our final @i9Sports season with another #Superbowl Championship. It was a great run with a great group of kids! 20+ seasons... nearly that many championships and so many great memories. Let's go Swarm! @diamondanalyst #i9sports276

Is it time for a cinematic event 40 years in the making? Yes... yes it is. Take that @MikeTosaw & @OptionPit. Real fans go early!

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

I was privileged to witness the end of a bitter feud yesterday. @MikeTosaw finally paid the blood debt to @Dan_Passarelli that was incurred during our Election Night Special in 2020. Years of interest took their toll, but now the two lifelong nemeses can bury the hatchet.

Time for a little Memorial Day $PTLO stock support. This week's selection: going back to the Hot & Spicy Big Beef while it's still on the menu. Hope everyone is having a great weekend...

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

Hope everyone is enjoying what may prove to be one of our last long weekends in the impending era of 24-hour trading. Goodbye cookouts and time away from your trading screens, hello alerts on your $AAPL options at 2am! Enjoy!

@AklanResearch Quite good actually. Would definitely recommend it....

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

This week's $PTLO stock support: trying out the new extra spicy Italian beef sandwich. Bonus tip: buy the "big beef" for an extra $.01 rally on the open tomorrow...

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

It's the year 2026 and Masters of the Universe is dominating the toy aisles once again. That just feels right...

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

Italian ice is available on Taylor Street again. Summer has officially started in Chitown.

Always a blast to record the Options Block podcast in-person from @OptionsConf with the OG of audio options content!

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

Finishing up a great day 1 in the studio @OptionsConf with a nice coconut cocktail.

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

Signed Demolition collectibles - purchased just steps from the hallowed halls of St. Charles Wealth Management. Take that "Uncle Mike" @MikeTosaw! The 80's wrestling gods have spoken.

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

It's Friday - time for a little $PTLO stock support. This week's choice: big beef (dipped) with hot peppers, fries and, of course. A SAUCE FLIGHT! You're welcome stockholders! 🤑

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

Interesting. By my math, this means $SPX will open up 3% and $VIX will plunge to 12 on Monday.

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

These popcorn buckets for the new Masters of the Universe movie are absolutely ridiculous. And I will get them all…

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

"Secret" weekend $UVIX trade for the win? @RussellRhoads @OptionVol @OptionPit

[The Options Insider @Options]

We had a lot of fun with biotechs on Options Oddities today. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Think the selloff in $META is overdone? Looking for a "cheap" way to play the upside? Looks like someone bought the Jan27 700/750/800 Call Fly today 100k times for $3.03.
Penny for your thoughts...?

[Mark S. Longo @mark_longo]

A little "behind the scenes" of the setup to can bring you live shows from FIA Boca this week. Everything keeps getting smaller... even the diet coke cans.
