When I buy a bunch of puts, the put/call ratio does what?

It probably changes.

When the put / call ratio is high, the stock does what?

That depends.

Why does a high volume of open puts affect the price of the stock?

Why do you think it does?

If you buy a huge number of puts, the specialist selling them to you will hedge his sale by shorting the underlying stock. Are you claiming that someone who sells you a CDS will borrow and sell the debt? I thought the complaint about CDS was they were unhedged, naked gambles?
