"New world records in pessimism are being set every day.
Today's IBD reported a new, all-time high, world record Public/Specialist short ratio of 18.25 far surpassing March's record of 15 and change.
Shortly after the open, I found a new intraday record high put/call ratio of over 2.00.
Never seen that before.
And the 150-day put/call ratio, which I thought topped yesterday, keeps climbing higher and higher.
And, of course, the useless Rydex Ratio is in the tank again. "

The denominator of your ratio....specialists shorts....is falling due to a falling level of activity on the part of specialists. Therefore, this ratio should be rising, whether the market is going up or going down. And it is.
