Rarely, do I buy puts. Although, there comes a time a place when it is very prudent. Since, ALL stocks cycle up and down within a price range it would be to our advantage to pick up PUT LEAPS when a stock reaches the upper Bollinger Bands. A that point the PUTS should be the cheapest and have the best opportunity to appreciate as the stock moves down to the 20 or 50-day moving average of the Bollinger Bands. That could amount to a 4 to 10 point increase which is certainly worth the investment and the risk not that bad. It would further lower our net cost basis on the stock. But, you are write about news items that can make or break certain stocks.
