Bloch is just about the best those guys have when it comes to short/intermediate trends, which isn't saying much of course. But you are quite right in that we are back to a 10 day MA of the P/C ratio more in line with where we were in the summer but we are just getting there now. Its a grey area but I would say the reading is neutral right now which means its of very little use in predicting short-term swings IMO.

I have always though Bloch was pretty much on target...I always turn the mute button off when I see him come on. And tonight, let's just say he shocked the hell out of me. First time we haven't agreed in ages <g> Maybe he needs customers?

I remember watching CNBC interviews with Bloch where it was obvious the put/call ratios he was talking about were DJX only. He may pick whichever index has a bullish put/call ratio. In one of these interviews, late March I believe, he said he rarely recommended specific stocks, but that MU was one he felt compelled to recommend. That kind of shot his credibility with me.

perhaps Bloch was referring to the 50/200 dma on the put/call which is still quite high(bullish) in historical terms: stockcharts.com[h,a]daclyymy[d19980101,20011107][pb50!b200][vc60][iUb14!La12,26,9] it takes quite sometime to work-off the put interest in these time frames above indicator notwithstanding, i'm short-term bearish as of today, waiting for a decent pullback to relieve overbought conditions, will then cover shorts and consider longs again as for a retest of sept. lows, sooo many expecting.... wanting...waiting for it to enter longs...market is rarely so accomodating.... cheers
