Let’s say a fund decides to unload 50+ million shares of AMD. They know that without a matching institutional interest this transaction even when stretched for several weeks will push the price down into the single digits. So the natural thing for the fund to do would be to establish a long put position ahead of time to soften the losses. The specialist selling the puts to the fund would have to protect the downside by shorting the stock.
