Hi eric, I'm so happy that you played BRCD short yesterday! Good for you. I'm watching the open. I think the trend on the Naz remains down this week, at least, so I'd look to buy puts on anything that has been weak (like BRCD and BRCM) if they bounce a bit. The selling should continue, IMO. I also think SDLI is vulnerable to some selling here, but I haven't had the time to look at the chart. All of these have high volatility, hence high premiums, and also large bid-ask spreads. Personally, I'd look to buy just a few DIM puts on them, not go whole hog.
