<<it would be a hoot if one of them felt compelled to spill the beans under oath>> The best way to get spilled beans is for some underling to choke. Someone that maybe got miffed over a missed pay raise, a sex scandal, not being promoted, or simply being implicated and afraid of a little jail time. This could be reeeal fun.

I was reading today on Real money that the 21 day put/call ratio was .66 and that it only got to .63 in Oct 1998. this is what Jay Shartiss had to say today: 1/09/01 12:19 PM ET Examining the put/call ratios for the overall market, I see the 21-day equity put/call for the overall market is near 66. To put this into perspective, this figure only went to about 63 at the big 1998 October Long-term Capital bottom, so there is more put buying now. This indicator must be rated bullish. here's who he is: Jay Shartsis Shartsis is director of option trading for R.F. Lafferty where he has authored his market letter Shartsis on Charts since 1979. Shartsis began his Wall Street career as a broker with E.F. Hutton in 1975. He moved to Lafferty two years later. In addition to appearing in numerous financial publications, Shartsis has written the options column, "The Striking Price," numerous times in Barron's. A Brooklyn, New York native, Shartsis is a graduate of Brooklyn College. Outside of derivatives trading, his passions include Formula One racing, horse racing, water skiing, chess and Mexican food.
