hey, 2 "down" posts on this thread...that's some sort of near-term record g,ng

9.5x to 1 appears so lopsided (given other indicators which are nearly as bullish) to make me think there is something else baked in that pie (be it commercials or hedging or..)

<<Unless the puts are owned by the commercials and they decide the market is going down>>

if so, somebody sold all those puts to the commercials and it wasn't an outsider like me

barring a good-size asteroid striking this planet,
those puts will not be anywhere near the money...imagine
the frenzied attempt to salvage premium as QQQ trades to
lets say 30.50 g

cheers

Since you mentioned the commercials, I just wanted to add that the COT shows the commercials getting longer the NDX last week (big and small) while basically staying where they were on the S+P.

Are you saying the commercials in the COT are net short overall the NDX and SPX and use puts? Or do you just mean the commercial houses or some such?
