Note(s): This table reports the results from regressions of future returns on the institutional and individual option buying and selling volume ratio quintiles, that is, BC/S_inst(Q), SC/S_inst(Q), BP/S_inst(Q), SP/S_inst(Q), BC/S_indi(Q), SC/S_indi(Q), BP/S_indi(Q) and SP/S_indi(Q). The dependent variables in regressions 1, 2, 3 and 4, the dependent variables are the next-day raw return, the next-day market-adjusted return, the next-week raw return and the next-week market-adjusted return, respectively. t-statistics are based on standard errors adjusted for firm-clustering effect and are in parentheses. ***, ** and * denote statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively. The sample period is from November 2014 to May 2022
