Hi Barbara

>>The masses are buying the May calls today and very few put buyers.Today's action is the most bearish as a contrarian indicator i have seen in a while<<

I would not view one days ratio as a strong indicator -- would look for a trend that lasts several days.

>>Are your signals still that strong as I don't know if today might be the day or Mon to initiate May puts<<

My system does not "grade" signals that are generated -- it is either a "buy" or a "sell". I personally would not buy index puts --for my own account--when I am on a buy signal. If anything, I would short puts or buy calls.

I would suggest that you may want to use someone else's system as a timing mechanism for when to buy puts. Obviously,it would be a shorter term system than mine is.

Regards
