Anthony,

Assuming that I want to take a bearish position, and don't want to assume the potentially unlimited risk of an outright short position, is there a better way than doing a bear spread with puts? For example
I just bought 20 Feb 10s @ 3.375 and sold 20 Feb 7.5s at 1.75.
Net debit of 3.375 - 1.75 = 1.625 x 2000 = $3250. If stock closes below 7.5 before Feb I can close out for 2000 x 2.5 = $5000.

Do you have phone number where I can get a tape of the Discovery Channel show you did? I screwed up the taping (as usual per my wife).

Thanks - Art
