Put options let you take a bearish position without short selling. IMO it's a way less crazy way to do that.

- bluGill 6y agoThe problem with puts is they have a time frame. I'm bearish, but I don't know when there will be a top. The market can remain irrational long enough for puts to expire worthless.
