Below are three stocks that have these things in common: (a) I identified them all as bearish candidates when they were vastly more expensive (b) I bought puts on them (c) I sold the puts not long afterward, probably at a loss (d) I missed out on multi-hundred-percent gains on CONSERVATIVE (many months out, in the money) put options. What a dope!
