Hello Kahunaites, I am putting together a short portfolio and am new to options. So far, I have bought some deep out of the money puts on some pure Internuts. However, it strikes me that the volatility has taken any decent leverage out of these options. I have a question. Let's presume, as I am, that we meltdown far worse than last week. Would it be smarter to buy out of the money puts on lower beta DOW stocks under the assumption that they will go to hell with everything else? Thank you. --Allan I rather learn than be right.
