CNBC commented that the institutional put/call ratio looks like armageddon because they're getting huge redemptions of megacap stocks..they have to buy them long and hedge with index options.
so if you imagine that you're somebody like barclays that owns a ton of microsoft because you own more S&P index than anyone else, and somebody is selling microsoft so you're stuck with a ton of microsoft that you need to dump, I suppose you'd try to hedge it by pumping up other stocks in the index and using index puts. anybody on the thread understands how this works? the oex is loaded with utility stocks so one might think money will move there...
