nihil/DAX: Options just aren't that simple. The strategies get so complex on BOTH sides of the trade, that to make a conclusion on stock demand just doesn't cut it. And there are certainly Calls out there which are not covered at all... neither by stock, nor by other Calls. MANY pros, hedge funds, etc. write naked Calls (uncovered by anything), but do so across a broad spectrum of stocks, and likely write Puts at the same time. They don't need to buy stock, as they are merely after the option premiums... and certainly a person BUYING the Calls don't need to buy stock. It's a very complex system w/ just a broad range of strategies in place... spreads, straddles, covered calls, strangles, naked Puts/Calls, etc., etc.
