Zeev, I'm only saying that we could have a string of low equity put/call values similar to August 2002 while still moving up. The fact that it started getting low during expiration week makes it less reliable, IMO.
I've also studied the put/call at various times and understand the influence. However, the daily charts are still pointing up, and I think that trumps the put/call.
We could still drop intra-day like we did this AM, but I think the trend is still up for the time being. We've got delta hedging to take care of this week as well as EOM stuff next week.
