>>>buy calls and short the stock
which is a synthetic put, so you're basically just boxing your position. might as well just take your lumps and get out of your put w/ a loss. or turn it into a bull put spread to limit further downside.

>>>bought out-of the money calls to protect my now naked deep
ditto... you just turned your position into a bear call spread.
