David, I think you would sell Calls (writing a Call) if you were expecting a downturn not Puts. Anyway, I buy Puts (not write Puts) to protect a long position when the potential for a bad downturn exists. But I do not do this often and there are far more astute option players who visit this board than me so I would ask that one of them answer in more detail. Thanks in advance.
