Note(s): This table reports the averages of the variables for the five portfolios based on the O/S (Panel A) and P/C (Panel B) ratios. Net buying option volume ratios are rescaled by multiplying by 1,000. For the difference between the highest and lowest quintiles, ***, ** and * denote statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively. The sample period is from November 2014 to May 2022. The sample period for O/S_forg, P/C_forg, C/S_forg, P/S_forg, Net C/S_forg and Net P/S_forg is from October 2021 to May 2022
