Wow, the 9:30AM volume was pretty poor also on the Put/Calls, so you can't read too much into that number also. I think it would be safe to say the ratio is around 0.75-0.80 right now based upon yesterday's activity. We are at a level in the markets right now where there is still some uncertainty about the market direction, especially with the pro's, IMO. I think we're seeing more and more pro's hedging right now at the apex of this move in order to protect themselves from a surprise, BWDIK. It is a lot easier to buy without a hedge at a bottom. It is a bit more difficult to be without one when you are at an intermediate level with a chance of being wrong and losing any hard-earned long profits.
