Maybe you can find this elsewhere or through a library system, but I read it a number of years ago and there is excellent information about options. While you're looking keep the thought in mind that instead of buying puts consider selling calls. Time works more in your favour and you receive the premium. I prefer to simply sell short, but don't get the leverage that options provide. At least that way I don't have to worry about time running out.

nspolar,

"you don't learn by not doing, now do ya"

As Jesse Livermore said, "You don't know until you buy.". He wasn't big on paper trading...

Did you buy regular options or LEAP options? If one considers themselves a "greenhorn" in the options arena, one should stick with LEAP puts to give themselves more time for the position to turn around in their favor IMO if things go terribly wrong...
