intersting anecdote re: short term cboe p/c signals The CBOE equity put/call ratio closed at a high .99 on Monday, reflecting a solid amount of put activity. While you might be tempted to view this as bullish, high equity put/call ratios have had a rather poor record at forecasting a rally in recent times. Since the beginning of the year, for instance, an equity put/call ratio over .90 has actually led to more down days (4) than up days (3). And during all of 2001, the record was a similarly unimpressive 4-4 at calling for a rally the next day.
