I have asked this question before: maybe you can help me figure this out: Do you think that the p?c ratio and vix/vxn reflect a decrease in volatility rather than a lack of fear of a down market-- for example, looking at the number of puts and call for applied materials, say in December as compared to now they are both decreased ; but if the value of put options contract has decreased and the unsophisticated options player can not make a big score vs what he has to pay for the risk; then this is not a bet on market direction( a contrary indicator) but an indicator of lack of volatility in this market-- has the value of put options decreased since the first of the year?
