Nobody is a bear, GZ, they just shift risk around. Some are hedging portfolios with puts (happened a lot lately), which amounts to synthetic calls (profit as market advances, but don't lose anything but premium if the market declines), others are selling the puts with delta-hedging, which is a more risky bullish position. Don't see any bears left around. My krash call is because there are too many funds shorting puts (and calls) naked. These funds really hurt when there is high volativity after low volativity. Likely they are the ones moving the tape now, up and down, and there might be dead bodies, which will be negative. That's why I consider such re-emergence of volativity dangerous. These funds are the real speculators, with enormous leverage. Put buyers are actually "commercials", they buy them to reduce risk and return -g-
