• 76% - Bitcoin Options
• 9% - Ether Futures
• 6% - Ripple Futures
• 9% - LightCoin Futures

• Comment from Patrick Snoke: The title got me excited for Talking TACOs on TWIFO , I thought we were going to talk about a 2:1 beef-fish pairs trade. Just a suggestion for next time

Futures Options Feedback: Listener questions and comments

• Question from Tom Rios - How has Mexico threatening to buy corn from Brazil and Argentina, rather than the US, impacted corn volatility?
• Question from McTinney - Hello to the TWIFO team and guest! Can you give a little more color on the longer term calls you outlined in gold options last show? Is this the beginning of a trend or just a blip on the radar? Any similar action in silver? Thanks for the show.
• Comment from Jim Church - I like the rent concept. Was that Nick or Mark's idea? I think it should be a regular segment. Maybe "Who's paying the rent this week?"
