all puts, all well out of the money, so yeah, lots of people are hedging on a severe downturn within the next year.
Having said that, Short interest is right around its average over the past year, so I guess you can infer that investors are sick of getting their face ripped off by shorting the stock and are willing to pay option premiums to get short exposure.
