february. >> well, the original six months temporary fee reduction will end at the end of february. >> okay. so we have two more months. >> i would like to hear, a more detailed report from the controller's office about when they expect to have the new fee schedule. so, because i am not inclined to support an extension either. but for the sake of harmony and for the sake of giving the controller a little bit more of a definitive report to us. i would actually like to postpone this item to january and if you can come back with someone from the controller's office can come back and say we will have this done by march, april, may, then, we can then discuss an extension based on that. that is my proposal. >> and it would give us time, because it is in place any way until the end of february. >> well, the first thing that i will go on the second part of your statement it will not give us time in order for us to effect legislation that will be effective and we would not have a break-in, raise and lowering fees we would have to start getting the legislation and why it was introduced because

. >> absolutely i'll he give you information but we'll start quarterly update on february 3rd board meeting but highlights that's - it came from our suggestion that the policy and governance committee we bring this to the board. >> do i have to repeat myself. >> no response required but i'll be fair i've not forgotten about market street to eliminate private car traffic it's germane about slowing the taxis making it a transit corridor i know there's a lot going on but i'd like to in fairness to you and the spirit of the unfinished business or new business really unfinished business category i hope this board has a concrete proposal to consider by your next board retreat and provides direction on that topic. >> so. >> again, you don't have to respond our welcome to. >> i'd be happy to respond we've started the public process for that and should have the legislation for the traffic changes coming to you i think in the spring not sure about february 3rd but give you specific timelines of when it will be coming in the spring at the lastly implementation by the summer. >> board finished business

you can buy the february 26 calls for 65 cents. that's 2.5% of the underlying stock price. >> so dan, do you hang on to this? >> you don't. i closed them out yesterday. we tweeted it out. here's the deal. the stock went from 26 straight to 24 and the stock really didn't react well to their guidance and to me i was a little early on this one. i got to about half of the premium i paid. that's like a stop limit in my mind for long premium directional trades and i cut it with the stock closed at $25.62 they're worth about 55 cents for a 10 krcent loss. i don't have the same conviction i did two weeks ago. >> let's talk about the theory behind the trades that's called the dogs of the dow theory. does it have a technical basis. >> not so much as a sentiment basis. these things are so bottomed out they're so expensive let me take the road less travelled. it's a spotty record. periods it's worked consistently and then it goes flat for several years in a row so you take a chance with this kind of thing. buying weakness in principal is wrong

two months left almost until february expiration. i own the february 101 and then i basically have my event trade on. >> options traders are natural conce skepti skeptics. they bid up. a lot of places including on wm, names like mcdonald's. we saw there's a curve for prices near dated options, more expensive. that's unusual in any circumstance, but particular unusual when you're going into a holiday period, stocks usually trade up into the end of the year. you have a lot of days off and then there's not much activity. so these type of trades can make particularly good sense this year because actually with the vix at 6.5, it could be lower with the market right here and this wild week kept prices barely elevated. i think these type of trades make sense. >> one more point, i do this on a directional basis. if you own a lot of these stocks, it's a way to finance the purchase 1% of the underlying stocks. >>> a huge week for stocks, names like gopro and amazon fell. shunning growth in what names look particularly vulnerable at this point.

i looked at february when the stock was 26 today. you could buy the february 26 calls for 65 cents, 2.5% of the underlying stock price. you have two months, a catalyst, the change of the new year, this is a pretty, i think, simple strategy, but that makes sense when you think about where i think the u.s. market could be going early in the new year. >> this is a short term bet, and dog of the kou theory usually plays out over a longer period of time. >> this is an inexpensive option. take the bet without a lot of risk. the vix below 12, where it closed today. a situation where you think maybe i'll do relatively simple trades, premiums are low. that allows leverage without significant risk. generally speaking into the end of the year, though, calendar spreads set up attractively because you don't have activity with the holidays going on. maybe it's not the place to play because the premiums are not high, but in general, that's a strategy to look to and can look to extending the call out further, maybe. >> context, though, with which yo

so it was issued by iran on february 14th. walden books caved february 16th. barnes & noble caved february 17th. at that point, it wasn't even published yet in the united states. it was due to be published on the 22nd. all of the biggest bookstores were saying we're not going to carry it. it seemed like it was working. he was still alive and editors and publishers were still alive, but the book itself was getting submarined by corporations who were too afraid to allow the book to be sold. that's how it seemed it was going to go. until americans shook it off and realized that this meant the ayatollah was running american book stores, deciding what america could or couldn't lead. and basically the first amendment got up on its hind legs and people protested and shamed the bookstores into selling that book. >> across the country writers held protests. >> pass kwrepblgs from the book read by robert stone. 500 people jammed the room as some of the world's most celebrated writers spoke out against the ayatollah's death sentence. >> hundreds of writers ban their prot

it would run out next february instead of next september. house speaker boehner tried to frame that as a positive but conservatives aren't buying it. >> tomorrow, will pass a responsible bill that keeps the government running. without the threat of a government shutdown, this sets up a direct challenge to the president's unilateral actions on immigration when we have new majorities in both chambers of congress. >> i feel they are asking us to punt on first down without any effort to get a first down or score a touchdown. by that, i mean there is no sincere effort to defund the president's unlawful, illegal amnesty. lou: for their part, democrats are mainly complaining about two provisions in the measure, one that eases regulations imposed on big banks and another that increases campaign contribution limits to political parties. we assume the two parties reached a deal at least on that part of the document. >>> seven more states joining the lawsuit against president obama over his amnesty executive order, bringing the total number to 24. that

immigration will come up, what, some time in february. >> february. >> there's no telling what they're going to do there either. the question is if every republican ran on the idea of repealing health care and replacing it, that's off the table now pretty much for the rest of the year, right? >> exactly. and, look, in fairness to john boehner, maybe he made the calculation tonight and we'll see the reporting in the hours and days ahead that as you're suggesting, look, he'll have a stronger majority in january and february and big deal he'll have mitch mcconnell majority leader, harry reid will be out as leader. so maybe john boehner is calculating we'll win the battles ahead on immigration and health care. but you can bet the president is calculating every time he wins one of these battles and gets funding for his health care law, funding for executive action on immigration, the president lives another day to keep moving the ball forward and delaying stoppages. so john boehner may be calculating he'll win down the road, the president is happy he didn't lose tonight. >> joining me from
