Mish, The thought of that reaction rally has me upside down... Today (and yesterday), I closed a bunch of short calls too damned early... I have got to "learn" the fine art of letting the winners run... My strategy has been to "get the middle" but I am missing BIG as I buy back covering the short ... only to see the damned thing slide a lot more... anyway... Here are the stats from the CBOE the put/call ratio got a little higher. ______________________ For a historical listing of CBOE Market Statistics Summaries, visit the following web address: cboe.com CBOE Market Summary for 03/09/2001: Put/Call Ratio: .83 VXN OPENING VALUE: 70.68 VXN HIGH VALUE : 71.64 VXN LOW VALUE : 69.73 VXN CLOSING VALUE: 70.70 VIX OPENING VALUE: 27.98 VIX HIGH VALUE : 30.07 VIX LOW VALUE : 27.91 VIX CLOSING VALUE: 29.35 EQUITY OPTION TOTAL EQUITY CALL VOLUME : 614,922 TOTAL EQUITY PUT VOLUME : 469,442 TOTAL VOLUME : 1,084,364 INDEX OPTION TOTAL INDEX CALL VOLUME : 93,728 TOTAL INDEX PUT VOLUME : 117,761 TOTAL VOLUME : 211,489
