The reverse combo is an option play: Buy the puts and sell the calls to offset the cost. Just make sure it goes down, or you're in deep doo doo on the calls.

Patented Pinky Reverse combo is the sale of a call to finance the purchase of the like put. eg: we sold the Nov 45 calls and used this money to finance the purchase of Nov 45 puts. The net effect is that we have the exact equivalent of a short on a hard to borrow stock that in our opinion is going south soon.

It is Pinky Patented because the press referred to Pink's use of it as a "sophisticated shorting methodology."
