I don't know that you jumped on too quickly -- it is natural for there to be put buying after what happened this week -- doesn't mean it all has to be fool-hardy -- it is good to wait for vol to calm down, but what do you do if you really think the big one is close ...

A one day change in the p/c ratio doesn't tell me anything ..

I wouldn't call a 33% jump in Brazil a sign of health -- that's why I paid up a little for a few puts ... something has to give ... nothing has yet

You might be interested in this week's Striking Price (?), the options column in Barron's, if you have not already seen it. Apparently, for a long time, VIX has been understating volatility levels in options. However, recently it has begun to overstate. The point was that fear levels are not as high now as the VIX is implying.
