what will dan do now?ght be wondering if dan is so bearish, why didn't dan just buy a put? why mess around with all this put spread business? let's play options versus options here. where we explain how the strategies make money. had you simply bought the may 145 strike put, you'd be looking at a loss of $160. dan's put spread cost 300s the and can be closed out today with almost no loss. is this some funky bank trick? no, it's actually just a simple math of options. the decline in the value of the put that dan sold offset the decline in the value of the put that dan bought, meaning this trade right now is basically a wash. so, what do you do with this? >> here's the thing. as you are going to enter the twittersphere on monday, if you people do that, too, and you follow the show and me, we update our trades, okay? i took this thing off at 140, the stock held after earnings, okay, it was down 7.5% following the earnings and i took it off for a nice gain here. so, at this point, i'm really neutral. i think t

>> reporter: good morning, dan. you know, we're only about 30 miles north of seoul here, as far as we can go, because this is the edge of the dmz, north korea is only three miles that way. of course, along this border, tourists can take a glimpse of north korea across the river, but there is no sign that the conflict is calming down. in fact, the president's office in south korea issued a statement today, saying they're preparing for additional provocations. including missile tests. we're thoroughly preparing for this, leaving all possibilities open. although there's no indication if or when a launch could happen, the south korean military is looking at wednesday or later. with this worsening tension, the top south korean military officer today canceled his scheduled trip to washington next week to meet with general martin dempsey, too far to go at a risky time. and according to a russian newspaper, north korean's leader kim jong-un has demanded that president obama call him to soften the conflict, the same request

>> already has complicated it, dan. absolutely, dan.ee the republican senator, charles grassley, from iowa, suggested that the immigration debate should be slowed down. as we try to figure out if there were any immigration problems, if these young men slipped through a crack in the immigration system. again, no evidence of that. remember, the family entered legally more than ten years ago after a request for asylum. we do know that tamerlan was being looked at by the fbi, might be why his citizenship was being held up. of course, his younger brother became a citizen in 2012. proponents argue if we have a system, it would help us better identify and keep track of immigrants in the country. >> and some people on the far right are really pointing to this case, saying this is an example of why we shouldn't reform it this way. george, thank you. >> dzhokhar became a u.s. citizen last year on september 11th. george, great to see you. george will have the latest on the boston bombings coming up on abc's "this week." dan? >>> one of the great t
