chic, thanks for the article on timing the market with put/call ratio. I'd also suggest looking at pacificex.com daily. That page has the put/call ratio for pacific exchange options which are heavily weighted with technology issues. Mondays reading of 0.3682 is extremely high, expecially for a day in which tech stocks zoomed. Even on AMD it was still 0.308. I generally consider anything below 27% as bearish, above 35% as bullish if the market is neutral, but on an "up" day like today, I expect a lower put/call ratio. The numbers indicate a good dose of skepticism, which is very healthy for a continued uptrend. One of these days I'll start collecting this data to do a good statistical analysis of the predictive ability of put/call ratios. Unfortunately I don't think there's a good source for historical data for free. Petz
