ISEE Equity Call To Put Ratio At Highest Level In 16 Weeks
By Bill Luby on December 30, 2008 | More Posts By Bill Luby | Author's Website
The ISEE equity call to put ratio hit a 16 week high of 189 on Friday, as investors showed a strong preference for calls over puts. Today (Monday) that ratio is even higher, at 215 as of 11:30 a.m. ET.
Trading is light so far and extreme values in the ISEE have a tendency to revert to the mean (146) as the day wears on, but coming on the heels of Friday’s high number, I believe the ISEE numbers should bear watching throughout the day.
For the record, the last time the ISEE equity call to put ratio was over 200 in a single session was back in the middle of May. At that time, the markets were just in the process of putting in a post-March top.
