Really and truly, Everything I know about the markets says that shorting will not take them down. And besides that, I am an options trader. I do not trade equities. I have no data to support the concept that buying puts weakens the market. At this point in the discussion, I think it behooves your position to find some data to back up your concern. Either that or accept my posts and the posts that mike douglas, Solon, Khalil, and that of whoever Rambi posted today.
