J.P. Did you notice that Erin Arvedlund got this exactly backwards? Microsoft's option program involves selling puts, which are generally thought of as bets that a stock will fall. No, Buying puts is a bet that the price will fall. Selling puts is bullish - if the stock stays above the strike price, the seller keeps the premium with no obligation. Where to they get these people? BTW I thought the quotes from Adam Benowitz were pretty sensible...
