Patrick, Really enjoy reading your informative posts here on SI. I recall within the last two weeks that you posted some information on how you trade using the Premium. Could you give me a better explanation of this or link me to a post that describes how you use the Premium. Also, do you trade the S&P's or just the OEX. I find that the OEX is becoming more and more difficult to trade given the extremely high premiums. Do you ever trade the SPY's. I am looking forward to the new Diamonds which are supposed to mimic the DJIA. Should be pretty interesting. Sorry for the rambling. Just trying to pick up a pointer here and there. Thank a million, Leland

Patrick, Just got your email on the PUT to CALL Ratio. In the past I have seen similar charts and they were misleading at times. After looking at the chart there were times that it spiked into the bullish area and the market went down and vice versa. Then there we times that it was as accurate indicator, although it was not consistant as a trend indicator. I did notice that the put to call ratio was low so there really is not that that many puts; therefore will assume that there will not be that many short and the liklihood of a short squeeze to assist any runup is slim. Is that also your interpretation of that chart. Thanks Seeya later
