I will let you know and try to figure out how to chart them so I can link them here -- I am interested not just in P/Cs, but also in volume, OI and the rate of change in all three.

Zeev,

I've never put any faith in the P/C ratio. For any given contract that trades, it could be a buy, a short sell, or the closing of a long or short position. You can never characterize a call trade as bullish or a put trade bearish, in many cases they are just the opposite.

A better (still not great) indicator is the OI ratio. Not as dramatic in it's volatility, but more accurate for tracking sentiment.
