Dale, how in the world does one short a stock with puts? This does not make any sense to me. If you buy puts, that doesn't mean you're short any more than buying calls means you're long.

I am unhappy because you appear to have misled me badly. All this time I've been thinking "Wow, he's really taking the squeeze," when in fact there never was any squeeze; unlike a true short, your risk was limited at the outset.

If you want to make bad or brilliant trades, fine. But spare us the egregious misrepresentations!
