PUT/CALL ratios for today CBOE total: 0,51 individual equity: 0,35 OEX: 1,50 VIX: 23,66 we still have a low individual equity ratio combined with an unusually high OEX ratio. volume on individual calls increased by a whopping 136605 contracts today with puts managing a still respectable 54645 contracts increase. volume on OEX calls and puts increased by 11703 and 11822 contracts respectively. although the bullish signal given by the OEX ratio has recently proved to be the one to follow, it must be said that the sheer size of the increase in call volume on individual issues raises a big question mark with regards to the continued validity of the OEX signal. i suspect also that the slight rise in the VIX is mostly due to expanding call premiums (this is the impression i get from looking at the OEX options chains). usually this means that expensive calls are being sold to the eager public on expectations that the upside from here is limited. this is not to say that the market indeed has no more upside to it. we may even see a couple more very strong days where 'panic buying' in calls ensues, as was the case shortly before the dow's short term top on january 8. if on the other hand the market pulls back a little from here, the life of the rally may ultimately be somewhat prolonged. hb
