20 Stocks With Unusual Options Activity Ahead of the Weekend [View article]
Hi Sonrisa777,
The ratio takes the number of put option contracts that are currently open, and divides it by the number of call option contracts. At the moment, there are 132,630 open put contracts on ARNA, and 142,839 open call contracts. 132,630 / 142,839 = 0.93, i.e. the Put / Call ratio.
The fact that there are more call options trading than put options shows that option traders, as a group, are optimistic about the stock.

Just a quick correction regarding FTR:
The article incorrectly shows FTR with a $1.00/annum dividend (note that we sourced this dividend data from Yahoo Finance, which had the wrong number). On May 13, 2009, FTR announced their annual rate would be $0.75 after their transaction with Verizon closed, which it did on July 1, 2010.
The correct dividend yield for FTR is $0.75 / $7.66 = 9.79%.

Hi Dan,
We're including short-term investments too. Cash of $1.8B, plus short term investments of $6.76B, brings their cash and short term investments total to $8.578B.
Humana has 170.2M shares outstanding, which implies $50.40 in cash per share. We express this cash per share value as a percentage of the share price when we wrote the article ($46.37), which results in the 108.7% number.
Hope that makes it clear. Let us know if you have any other question.
