Buy a call instead selling the put ... but if I were you I wouldn't follow MB into such a hopeless venture. This is the guy who bought puts on RMBS ... oughta tell you somethin' <VBG> find a good old economy stock and sell it short or better yet buy puts ... they have much farther to fall with the "real" economy ... (that's what I should have done)

td, No, that is not wise. Unlimited downside. The way you can play it is to sell a big fat at the money leap call and buy a big but somewhat less obese Leap call out of the money. Now that makes some sense with these gold-plated premiums.
