The Options Cocktail is www.ONN.tv's "spirited" weekly round of market commentary, reflecting on the economic week that was, analyzing the short-term trading future, and featuring the hosts' picks for the week's "Heroes and Zeroes."
In this week's edition of "Options Cocktail," www.ONN.tv's Chief Investment Strategist Jud Pyle and Mark2Market host Kevin Cook are joined by Eliot Wickersheimer, co-founder

of brokerage firm Mirus Futures. Mirus, a leading name in service, support, and ultimate connectivity, is available in 34 countries and growing and is now offering live streaming data to EUREX through its Zen-Fire trading engine. Look for another new platform to launch in the first quarter of 2009.
Pyle, Cook, and Wickersheimer take the first round to look at the week that was, from the Federal Reserve's "all in" move with interest rates and liquidity measures, to the dollar reversal and oil's fall below $40 per barrel. A look at the auto-makers bailout and the VIX dropping to the low 40's is also on the menu. Then the three turn their sights on the trading opportunities and risks in the coming holiday weeks. Finally, in the Options Cocktail's most anticipated segment, "Heroes and Zeros" the market wizards opine about their stand-out candidates for diplomas and dunce caps.
This week's "Options Cocktail" was filmed on location at the famous Cactus Bar & Grill, in the shadow of the Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
