ISEE data for 01/09/09 indicates that the index closed at 89. Such a low would put it in rage of what it closed at during October and November lows. But it is bogus . I believe that it should read 112. There was no data restatement today so I assume they'll just leave that garbage for investors to swallow unless one believes that over 100,000 index puts contracts were sold during last 20 minutes. How about painting a bullish picture.

ive said before and metioned these last minutes in ISEE Friday - that very often they are ST dead on. does it mean that some players have inside info? not necessarily, but my theory has been that the brokers make their money on the options trading and they know what their order flow is going to look like, so they use options to profit from it. the week of OPEX is ideal, premia are very low.
best,

But ISEE excludes market makers and firms form calculations!
