where does it say they BOUGHT puts? prove it. we can't read the article. post the original article so we can make up our own minds mister fud.

they WRITE puts. could you have put a more CONFUSING pointer up? No. talk about MUDDYING the waters.

this is from the post article or whatever amalgamation you posted:

<<This week we'll scrutinize the very popular option-selling programs employed by publicly traded companies, such as Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq), that involve buying put options on their own stock. >>

what it says is "very popular option selling programs." this implies that everyone can do it, including sun.com. it also implies that any option "buying" was in conjunction with an "option selling" program, which is the primary goal mister conspiracy theory. if you don't understand this, it means msft also PROFITS if the stock goes UP. Fancy that, mister muddy waters.
