High Yield Options Update: 4257 Puts, 4 Calls - Do Stocks Have a 150 Point Implied Downward Vacuum?
The shift in risk perception is on. While stock are not quite feeling it yet (they will), today's fulcrum security appears to be high yield debt, as tracked by the JNK ETF. A quick look at the most active options classes page shows something surprising: as of 2:30pm Eastern roughly 4250 puts had trade, compared to.... 4 calls. Yet while investors have certainly turned sour on junk very rapidly, they should be far more bearish on stocks. Not only have stocks outperformaed bonds far more during the QE2 rally (as expected), but a simple correlation model accounting for empirical beta confirms that the SPY is almost 12% rich to fair value as implied by the JNK. Which means that if investors are really bearish on high yield to the tune of 4250 to 4, they should be far more bearish on the stock market.
And, as credit trader points out, comparing the actual and the implied value of the SPY based on JNK trading values, shows a very profound divergence.

Best way to view CNBC is on mute while listening to Alex Jones. It's a hoot.

Incidently, I like to watch Ben Bernanke giving interview with the volume off. Observe how his lips quiver...you can easily see that pathetic fella lying through his nose! From his body language you can tell he's so damn terrified of being exposed as a liar on TV.

Is that like watching Alice in Wonderland to Dark Side of the Moon?
It's a balanced approach.
While somewhat over the top, I've found far more truth on the Alex Jones show than anywhere else on the MSM. This is the reason I also read ZH.
For every put buyer there is a seller.
The seller may be (very likely) a market maker and they have a bag of tricks to hedge open positions.
and munch the spread
Is the data on the screen above correct? When I look at JNK $39 April puts on Fidelity and on Yahoo, there were only 250 traded today.
JNK1116P39 traded 4250 contracts around 12:17. That is correct via BBG and TR however cboe.com claims 240 which is weird because TR supplies their data feed.

Gold rings might work though, but not diamonds.
