#2 the number of investors betting on a 20 per cent fall in the FTSE 100 index, based on their purchase of options connected to such a scenario, had risen from below 5 per cent to about 13 per cent in the past month alone.

These things are normally contrary indicators.

But the merde has to hit the fan fairly soon in the soveriegn debt crisis, next 12 months IMO.
