London gang is brewing something....

some questions on this..if u dont mind sharing ur experience on the put/call ratio concept

1. Does this concept really have that much effect on the mkt towards options exp.

2. close to options exp. i would have thought most of the in the money or close in the money options would either have been closed or rollover. every one knows the MM will want to screw them?

thanks

I would STRONGLY oppose No.2.

Just a couple of weeks / month ago, I observed early in the morning 3 days before expiration 12.000 puts traded. P/C ratio jumped to 6, 7 or was it 8 ? Can't remember the exact number ! My first thought was, heck, where is all of a sudden this volume coming from ?

FDAX tanked 180 points that day.

Question is : WHO was massively screwed that day ? :confused:
