There are 4 days before the July options expire, 39 the August and 67 the September.
On the jump, market stats, econ reports, trading calendar and a good book...

Econ reports:
The international trade report at 8:30 a.m. Eastern examines the Americans' trade with foreign countries, whether they're selling more abroad than they're buying, or vice versa. It can be real market mover if there's a surprise. This report is a major motivator in U.S. efforts to persuade China to raise of the value of its currency, the yuan.
The Treasury budget, due out at 2 p.m., is what people are talking about when they discuss the federal budget deficit, which is a major weapon these days in the propaganda war between the center-left Democrats and rightist Republicans,
Trading Calendar:
By my rules, at this point in the cycle I can trade August calendar, vertical, diagonal and butterfly spreads, iron condors and covered calls. Also, September single calls or puts, and shares.
Good trading!
OK. The credit bubble burst. Housing, burst. Shockwaves reverberated. Markets collapsed. What lies ahead as we remerge from the wreckage.
