ETRADE treats naked puts (equities) very differently from naked calls in my experience, at lease a few naked puts don't bring down the nasty phone calls.

On another topic, I found this site which provides oex and cboe put/call ratios in a chart. Probably the CBOE number reflects equities only, not index futures, but I need to double check this, and also the nature of the oex put-call number.
decisionpoint.com

The recent increase in the CBOE put/call ratio combined with a high VIX volatility index may be bullish for covered call writers (?comments).

I would like to chart VIX, and put-call ratios together on a daily basis. If anybody knows a better site where a chart like this can be assembled, please give a shout.

Thanks -
SAF

>Dreyfus, Brown and Waterhouse are the ones that allow naked puts. - Vincent

Tks for the info, Vince. Will check into them.

REf some trading problems last week, seems some of the very large MM's stopped the trading in some stocks - I thought it was only the highflying internet stocks, however - for as much as 1.5 hours and went to "hand filling" of orders.

This may account for some of the delays so many seemed to have had last week.
