index put/call ratio almost always above 1.5 and close to 2. when it is below 1.5 that is low. it hardly goes below 1.

for the scenario you describe - have calls as insurance and short sell shares - that would also add selling pressure to equities, not helping it. essentially the same effect as RtS referred to (complacency call buying) though not for the same reason. No ?
