they would not return my call, bastards...
but if i had to speculate, they went short the moment they heard about the secret Fed meeting on Mon.
Quote from shortie:
since July 94 SPY had 21 runs of 5 or more consecutive positive weeks (820 weeks are in the period studied). we have just had 5 +weeks in a row. one more week and we are really in an exclusive club (in other words, we are more likely to go down and not make it 6 weeks in a row).

equity call put hit 0.43 today. with two exceptions one needs to go to 2007! to see it that low. the exceptions: Aug 21 2009 (1% from a top, 5 days before ~4% drop) and March 09 2010 (which was NOT near the top).
12/20/2007 0.42 level - ~2 days and ~1% from a top, followed by >10% drop.
also interesting 10/31/2007 0.45 level (not as low as today) marks the exact local top followed by ~10% drop.
