option imbalances

[barelyone]

a cursory check of s and p may in-the-money call options approximate 525k vs.4k in-the-money puts. june is even more lopsided---1,025,000 in-the-money calls vs. 20k in-the-money puts .i find it hard to believe the boys will bestw such bounteous riches on all call option buyer/holders for the next 6 weeks. these option figures are from e trade.any comments?

FWIW, Max Pain is 1475 on the SPX for May.
