Anyone buying Puts out there? Any Put strategies?

I have just been trying to come up with a Put strategy for both Yahoo! and Amazon and would appreciate any input:

Yahoo! Puts:

Feb 250s @ 5
Apr 260s @ 13
Jul 280s @ 20

The idea is to watch the stock run-up Monday & Tuesday before earnings,
pay for more time with the puts, but, speculate on the downdraft after earnings are announced with the February position. Right now to even buy the contracts at these prices, the stock would have to run up to about $550/share, which may happen. Otherwise, on a clear downdraft, just buy the contracts at the market.

Likewise on Amazon:

Feb 93-3/8 @ 2.5
Apr 80 @ 4.5
Jul 65 @ 3

Obviously, these are all way out-of-the-money, but I would suspect they will be way-in-the-money sometime soon.

Just hopeful another options player could add their two cents.

Thanks in advance, Keith Walker
