Options Update for Google Inc (GOOG)
Posted on 03/11/2010
 Google Inc options saw heavy call activity today. A total of 112,137 call and 52,432 put contracts were traded raising a 90 day record high call volume alert. Today's traded Put/Call ratio is 0.47. There were 2.14 calls traded for each put contract.
Put/Call ratio can be regarded as a predictor of investment sentiment,
indicating what experienced investors are doing in preparation for a move of an underlying equity.
A high Put/Call ratio suggests that the investor sentiment is bearish and that investors are
expecting the underlying stock price to decrease. Conversely, a low Put/Call ratio implies
that the investor sentiment is bullish and that investors are expecting the underlying
stock price to increase. Thus, unusual volume provides reliable clues that the stock is
expected to make a move.
