A ratio of 1.36 appears extraordinary.

I believe we have a serious case of apples and oranges here.

1.36 is the ratio of puts and calls bought this morning. Considering that the market wooshed down, it is only natural that more puts were bought.

I don't think what is normally refered to as the put/call ratio is the ratio of volumes in a single day. Rather it is the ratio of total outstanding options.

But hey, what do I know.
