on put/call ratio disparity, expressed with reservations

the CBOE put/call ratio is a function of S&P index options
both S&P500 (SPX) and S&P100 (OEX)

I show from Barrons this weekend a value of 23 for VIX
which is on complacent bearish end of range
this is a function of pure option premium (no ratio)
dont understand the nature of your quoted figure

the put/call I mentioned pertained to Nasdaq
it is a function of the QQQ, which ties to Nasdaq100

I would intrepret my available data as negative for S&P
and positive for NazComp

no two put/call ratios are equal
you can have one based upon S&P indexes
you can have another based upon component stocks' options
