let's get the call to action with mike. mike >> yeah, so this is an interesting situation. there may be no sector that better sets up for using options than some of these names i was looking at las vegas sands. this is a stock that over the course of three weeks plummeted a little over 20% and then over the ensuing three weeks rallied back more than 20% it's obviously moving around very, very sharply we have earnings coming up they're essentially the first one to report. i think one of the big unknowns for a lot of these names, and las vegas sands despite the name las vegas actually gets most of its revenues from macau. we're going to take a look at a put spread we often talk about the earnings move and talk about it as a one-day move i'm taking a look at how much this has typically moved in the month around earnings. why is that? we just had an options expiration the next one is in february. that's approximately the length of the trade the average move for las vegas sands around earnings in that month is about 10% or more going back about 10 years. the next thing i would m

but according to mike the energy rally could be losing steam. he's over at the plasma with the call to action mike. >> sure. so obviously anybody who's been paying any attention to the tail ending of last year and the first part of this year we've seen agreat deal of volatility in the energy space and one of the reasons was crude falling down to about 41 bucks obviously when crude starts to move a lot, the entire sector will move a whole lot. one of the things we like to do when volatility gets higher is sell it. so we'll look at selling a call spread we're trying to sell the higher implied volatility we've seen. we've already seen very harp moves, a steep decline in energy and oil prices and a fairly sharp ricochet off the bottom. if you were going to go back in time, you wanted to bet on big moves and buy premium. once a lot of those moves have started to take place, we're going to try to collect some premium on more modest moves selling call spreads typically has a higher probability of profit so we're hoping that this is probably a 70% proba

check in with mike. hi there. >> hey guys. like groundhog day. we keep reliving the same forecast over and over and over again. but this time, it's going to get heavier as we get deeper into the week. here's a look at the scattered showers today. just a 1. a light half inch of rain and light winds. you can see thunderstorms near l.a. and santa barbara. we're not seeing any of that. just a little bit of light green right now. for most of us, it is pretty quiet. the chances of showers start to increase through the morning and into the afternoon and evening hours. temperaturewise, low 40s to even mid-50s this morning. we'll be in the low to mid-50s noon to 4:00. just a touch breezy at 4:00. but nothing i don't think you can handle. by 7:00, still showers and still pretty mild, 49 to 53 degrees. while we've got the dry streets, get out there. first, let's listen to alexis an

[ laughter ] there is something very odd about hearing mike pence say the word hola. [ light laughter ] like when the gym teacher has to cover spanish class. hola, seÑor perez is out with strep. the assignment is on el boardo. and while pence was backing guado, trump was apparently floating the possibility of military intervention to republicans like south carolina senator, lindsey graham. and even graham, one of the most pro war politicians in congress, told trump that was a bad idea. >> senator lindsey graham says that recently as

mike, what do you think is the tlt. that is probably the most traded most liquid bond focused etf what is the tlt trade? >> i think this is one of the cases -- it's interesting. we have seen, as carter has just pointed out, a fairly sharp move in a relatively short period of time when you consider tlt has rallied basically 8.5 points since the november 2nd low that we saw and the reason this is important is that over a period of a week, a month, this thing can move sharply. day to day it doesn't move very much that means the price of the actions are relatively low when they are low, it means we don't need to complicate the trade, or look like spreads to offset some of the decay i was looking at the april 121 calls. those were about $1.85. that is less than 2% of the current level of tlt which closed 120 and a half. so you don't need to see much of a move to the upside to be profitable think about what you're insuring against. that's really the downside risk that you are thinking b. something like eight bucks you are ris

mike: one last quick question. if you look at the wirp function, taders see no up or down action this year but there's about an equal percentage who think there'll be a cut as an increase. is that a fair reading at this point? >> the financial markets are worried about a much worse income. the forecasters are expecting a much better outcome. i think we have a situation where if we get a much better outcome, the two increases that were occurring as the december meeting is probably right. if the markets are right it's possible we need to ease though that's not my view. mike: thank you very much for joining us here today. we'll send it back to you. amanda: thanks so much, mike mckee a great entire view. now, according to a new survey by blackberry, 0% of respond sents in canada and the u.k. and u.s. don't trust their device with personal day tafment how those numbers affect the smart we and other industries, have the president of blackberry. i want to start with your program, blackberry secure. you compare it to the i
