At this end, the hourly trend, momentum and breadth looks Kosher.
But the DOW and OEX folks are loading up puts like mad today. What's up with these guys ?
SPX p/c closed around 3 yesterday, a similar reading we saw before big down days
i think its gonna get worse today... awful smell has been coming out of banks since the wonder fed rally...

A-ha,
Well, the DOW folks were buying puts heavily yesterday. They got hit with gap-up today. Now , they are buying puts even more heavily today. Sort of Martingale betting. With the breadth strong and hourly momentum against them, the martingalers could get their head handed over to them. IMHO.

I am seeing this too and don't know what to make of the situation.
Atilla are you still short from the pre-fed rally days?

Bank-run in england will definately force Fed to cut .50
scorch is inevitable

The obscenity continues....
787 DOW calls vs 18396 DOW puts. Hmmmm......
Who told you this is bad? Have you seen the "true quality" of these puts and calls? What if we deal with some sort of bullish spreading? What if this is kinda bullish hedging? Don't get me wrong... but put/call ratio has nothing to do with market direction. You have to see them "inside".
Just my 2 cents.
