One good reason for selling short and selling covered puts is that
the volatility index is currently very high. If you believe that the
high volatility is only a temporary thing, you might do this in order
to clock some dollars there.

This would typically be the actions of bear who was only slightly
bearish.

If you really are a long term bear, the place to go would be the
futures markets, because they trade at a premium to the cash
markets. Thus you would bank some deneiro even if the market
stays constant.
