Taking Advantage of Google's Plummeting Lows

Following the recent covered call position I undertook in Apple (AAPL) shares, noticing the abysmal day on Wednesday, I sold/bought Google (GOOG) puts for a Credit Spread position to take advantage of the rather high prices of options these days. With Google plummeting to new recent lows, I ventured into a position which requires additional substantial losses of close to 20% down within the next month to occur in order to lose money. If Google improves or stays the same, I pocket close to $800. Here's how it works:

Google CEO Won't Leave to Become Nation's First Chief Tech Officer

I'm kinda disappointed Google CEO Eric Schmidt really won't be the country's first ever chief tech officer after all. Despite rumors and (fairly reasonable) speculation he was not-so-subtly campaigning for the position (and Obama), yesterday he definitively said that he wouldn't take the position if offered:

EU Council Refuses To Release ACTA Documents

CaptSolo writes "The EU Council refuses to release secret Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement documents, stating that disclosure of this information could impede the proper conduct of the negotiations, would weaken the position of the EU in these negotiations, and might affect relations with the third parties concerned. The Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure requested these documents last week. FFII's response questions ACTA's secrecy saying: 'The argument that public transparency regarding 'trade negotiations' can be ignored if it would weaken the EU's negotiation position is particularly painful. At which point exactly do negotiations over trade issues become more important than democratic law making? At 200 million euro? At 500 million euro? At 1 billion euro? What is the price of our democracy?'"

Barack Obamas National Security Team, Medias Role in Mumbai, President Bushs ABC Interview

Barack Obama announced his national security team at a press conference this afternoon, and several of his choices have raised concern among conservative bloggers. Over at RedState, a blogger questions the constitutionality of Hillary Clinton's nomination to the secretary of state position. A Weekly Standard blogger says Susan Rice as U.N. ambassador is a good choice if Obama wants the U.N. to remain "a hopelessly ineffective institution." A blogger at HotAir thinks the combination of adviser Samantha Power, who once called Clinton a "monster," and Clinton could be dangerous. Chris Cillizza explains why Obama offered Clinton the state secretary position and why Clinton accepted it. Liberal bloggers focus on Obama's commitment to withdrawing from Iraq in 16 months and praise the team of officials he has chosen.

Blog cafe : In 1932?

President-elect Obama in an interview with '60 Minutes' was asked directly if the current economic situation is similar to the situation in 1932. His first response showed judgment—as he put it, in 1932 the unemployment rate was 25% and the economy was in much worse shape than today. However, he also quickly added that our current situation is the worse situation we have faced since 1932. His position is not uncommon, but I remain confused by this "argument" whether it is uttered by the President-Elect or by a university colleague. The position relies on an assessment of the counter-factual—that in fact had we not agreed to the $700b plus bailout, the economy would have deteriorated to a 1932 type crisis. We are told simultaneously that Hank Paulson has made mistakes in implementation and is still trying to figure it out, and yet that t
