Vi, Your meltdown due to delta-hedging scenario is scary. But, put call ratio improved during Friday's trading - from 2.06 at close to 1.23 at the close. (I myself closed a lot of puts and opened calls) cboe.com Also, as of close on 10/10, Index put call ratio is 1.41 cboe.com I don't have any historical comparison to draw here. ~ Can increased call buying on Friday bring about an upside delta hedge? ~ Can we say/assume that a lot of puts were closed on Friday? ~ Is 1.41 (how many of them are near term, anyway?) so out of whack that it will bring a complete meltdown?
