Bearish Options Strategies Whitney Tilson explains why he purchased put options on two tech-heavy indexes. As a general rule, I do not recommend buying options. They're illiquid, the bid-ask spreads are murderous, and it's always dangerous to have time working against you. It's hard enough to be right on the direction of a stock's movement, much less being right on the timing as well. But in the case of long-term puts on the Nasdaq 100 and the Semiconductor Holdrs Trust, the risk-reward equation is simply too attractive. |
