In my Caps score that is ;)
Just wanted to throw out a little bit of data to support the Bear debate. The equity put to call ratio has reached a bullish extreme of .393. Another green shoot right? Wrong! Sorry, bulls it is used as a contrarian indicator. Here are the 3 lowest readings in the last 3 years.
Date Equity P/C Ratios
8/21/2009 0.39
12/20/2007 0.42
10/31/2007 0.45
If you look back at the less recent dates, you can see that a major correction followed.
Disclosure: long- EDC sep puts, DTG sep puts, TYH sep puts
I am also short term bullish on the long end of the treasury curve and the U.S. dollar
