About this tag
The put call ratio is a key options market metric that compares the volume of put options to call options, often used to gauge investor sentiment. On WindowsForum, discussions center on applying this ratio to Microsoft stock, where a ratio near 0.35 with a steepening put-call skew indicated modest bearish hedging among sophisticated traders, even as the stock showed only a slight pullback.
