TigerPaw,..Re: I don't have the correct resources, in particular a reasonable way to get the option prices often enough to spot trends I think the CBOE site is updated daily. Is this what you are talking about? cboe.pcquote.com The problem with using options that I see is that one can sell puts which is actually a bullish indicator along with buying calls. So we have only OI and volume for calls and puts but we don't know how many of the puts are sold puts, (as opposed to going long puts). Or even sold calls, so although the overall put/call ratio is still used for the S&P for bull/bear sentiment, it seems suspect to me since some who are bullish sell puts either to take an actual position if the move goes with them or to capitalize on the high premiums available when sell-offs occur.
