None of you even understood what I said, "focus" means just that,
it's your primary , and if shorting is your primary play, or
focus , you are a born loser.
I can show you several PROs, who focused on shorting, and they
have lost far more money than any bulls.
On top of that I said I do buy a few puts on some stocks from time
to time. BUT it's not my focus. I'v analyzed tons of data on options
and know for a fact much more money is lost buying them ( both put and
calls )than is ever made, the overhead is just to much to produce
any thing but a large degree of losers. On the other hand of those
that do win, the call buyers beat the put buyers almost 2 to 1.
This is based an extensive examination of many options over time at expiration date.
