Good news and bad news

The put-call ratio has reached unusual heights. What does it mean?

Many investors are looking for protection by buying puts (shorting the market). Two implications.

1. Excessive fear is bullish. The market is known to make the majority wrong.
2. This level of fear is seen after the market has had a major decline. But we did not have seen one yet. Does it mean the market is still vulnerable?

This is one gauge we follow closely as well as many other proprietary indicators. We invite you to review them in each issue of The Peter Dag Portfolio. Why not subscribe now?
