Alphabet gets hammered, tech stocks tumble, and Trade Alert prepares for its final trading day. It's a Blood-Red Thursday with an extra dose of nostalgia on The Option Block.

Mark Longo, "Uncle Mike" Tosaw and Cboe's Henry "The Flowmaster" Schwartz break down the earnings-driven selloff in Google parent Alphabet, the surprisingly subdued VIX response, and the small-cap rally defying the tech wreck. Plus, Henry reflects on Trade Alert's 21-year journey and its impact on options analytics, order flow analysis and market transparency.

On this episode:
• Alphabet's earnings fallout and the divergence between tech stocks and small caps.
• Options activity in VIX, SPY, QQQ and IWM, including aggressive same-day call trading.
• Unusual options activity in Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH), Lionsgate Studios (LION) and Eastman Chemical (EMN).
• Trading earnings: buying premium, selling premium or staying away?
• Uncle Mike's patient pursuit of SLV puts and a potential return to silver collars.
• Election risk, upcoming catalysts and what the panel is watching next.
