Let me ask this simple, relatively easy question, then: What's the best way to make lots of money if you know the stock is going down? What I mean to say is that a short will never quite double your money, and a put runs the risk of buying a stock you don't even want (sure, you can sell it immediately, but if it's going down, it's going down).

Therefore, is it possible to make (say) 200% on a stock you know is going to go from (say) $100 to $50? Or, say from $100 to $25? What are some real, easy, legal methods for doing this?

Making 200%, by the way, is tripling your money. You've made 200% on top of your original money. That's what I'm saying.
