You mentioned in a previous post that your buying puts was effectively the same as selling short. It seems quite a bit more conservative to buy the puts than to sell short since their is a definite maximum loss from the puts. As some price point I may decide to buy some puts myself. However, historically it seems that whenever I wish to buy the puts they are highly priced even way out of the money. It guess it is the volatility of AMD that creates this put action. Thank you for clarifying that.
