Selling puts is bullish. You are selling someone the option to sell you shares at a given price so if the stock goes up, you collect the premium (since no one will voluntarily sell you something at a lower price than the spot price). If the stock goes down, then you are buying shares at a price you presumably deemed sufficient to hold in the long term.
