SP is joking- permashorts have existed and have flourished in the best of the bulls market run from Jan to Aug 98 watch for most of the threads, it was always predictions of disaster, it is for this reason as I have expained earlier that most of the shorts will caught even on this dip buying puts and not calls like what happened post 28th Oct-- it all boils down to how the trades materialise the issue I want bring up is if they are so sure of a market fall why dosen't the put premium is not reflective of that predominant sentiment, it is alas limited to some high powered stuff on SI otherwise all these guys look for first opportunity for a long call-- the reason I am worried about low premiums on puts is that if their is demand I will be able to get a better price, it is the calls premiums which are more steeply priced it is this anamoly which shocks me the sentiment and trades are not unidriectional- sentiment is to cultivate an image on SI when it comes to pay up the premiums on puts never show that- normally with so much of bearishness I should have got 16 out of my 910 naked puts and not 5 $ lower! I hope that shorts will put their money where their mouth is!
