You can’t buy options without margin. My guess is that short selling and puts are pretty high which is a bullish sign.

Now if on the other hand this money is mostly long (betting stocks go up) then it would be very worrisome. Kind of like 1999 and earlly 2000.

Huh? Of course you can. Now had you said *writing* options, (particularly uncovered options) then yes, that is true.
