ISE create this ratio to represents the total "BUY TO OPEN" options, unlike OEX's ratio. This filters out institutional "SELL TO OPEN" contracts which reflects the actual buying strength.

As such, when the index is high this implicates there are more buyers who bought call options than put options.

It's a contrarian signal, one should expect lower market index in the near future.

But again, this happens when we are into the earnings week.

Gua pun tak tahu apa market direction

i think not affecting oil prices, but the etf's and oil/energy stock prices taking a dive!

anyway, they made good gains lately. will see how for the rest of the week.

oil/energy is sexy, o&g jobs pay too well, everyone wants to be a part of it... the thought of usd200 a barrel, u know...!

Majority of hedge fund which added massive long position on crude oil haven't even unload them yet

so good to see energy and oil popping up each evening at open, charging out strongly.
but still wondering what would be the main trigger? upping oil prices? iran deal? rising global (or china) consumption?
congrats for your patience. 

My oh my... more bullish Energy indeed!  Now popping up above 81 already.

Frack... now I wish I haven't take some profits at 80... could have ride up more with full load. 

oil price rallied, so did the rm.

if buying with rm, it's now or never - 3.66xx, 1.6% better than last night's 3.72xx!

can... but i will not wait.

and can't wait.... i got back into oih (oil etf, last sold w/o profit).

an hr after watching a tv show, it regained 1.5% - such volatility!

hope it stays in that direction.

tmrw, think can goreng skpetro, armada n uwmog.

went to bed when oil peaked at 57.20 early this morning.
tot i cud goreng bursa at 9am... but hmm.... looking soft again...
