David T - Too bad the Put/Call stats at that link are not real time so one can act immediately on them.

A ratio of 1.36 appears extraordinary.

I believe we have a serious case of apples and oranges here.

1.36 is the ratio of puts and calls bought this morning. Considering that the market wooshed down, it is only natural that more puts were bought.

I don't think what is normally refered to as the put/call ratio is the ratio of volumes in a single day. Rather it is the ratio of total outstanding options.

But hey, what do I know.

<<I do not have the figures for the fall of 1998 but there were times when it got to 1.25 (or in the neighbourhood). A ratio of 1.36 appears extraordinary.>>

I don't have them either. Does anyone know of a good spot to get historical p/c ratios? You can get single daily summaries from cboe, but I cannot find a quick reference of all dates.
