I've always wondered, when institutions are buying, with this amount of volume, would there not be institutions that are selling? However, will remain long the Q and am looking at some naked puts given the recent volatility. If paying $154 today is okay, would selling an Oct 150 put for $9, bringing down the cost to $141 a better deal with a month to hopefully ride out this mess. But..., I've notoriously lost money, buying in September and early October. Seems mid Oct is a better time to buy. However, I didn't follow this rule again and have a paper loss to show thus far. As they say, discipline is more important than conviction! Later
