And now the top stories:

• There was no major economic news today. There wasn't much on the earnings announcement front either.
• Stocks spent most of the morning down, temporarily positive at around 1:00 PM, and then down again for most of the afternoon. Closing flat today, stocks continue to sit near their highest levels since late 2007.
• However, there is some anecdotal evidence suggesting that some traders and investors are getting nervous. UBS's Art Cashin wrote that some mysterious options trader had made an $11.25 million bet that volatility would spike in the markets within the next two months. In a separate report, Barron's noted that a trader had made an unusually large bet that bank stocks could fall. It's also possible that the position was taken to hedge an existing bank position.
